That's the irony of this situation. She was always so proud to tell anyone who would listen, how she never smoked. Well you see where that got her! LOL.

I have always marveled at how much we as humans fuss over these things when we really have very little control over the when and how of death.

I will pray for her today, if that isn’t offensive to you.

My comment was meant as something of a joke. For years now, I’ve volunteered to assist a Viet Nam veteran buddy of mine and month after month, I’d take him to the VA for his checkups, (he had a stroke, then blood clots in the lungs, etc).

Anyway, we’d pull up to the VA and there were always these guys in wheel chairs with oxygen tanks strapped to the chairs, tubes up their noses, smoking away in the designated smoking zone. And yes, I was told by a VA Doctor that occasionally, one of them would go up in flames.
