My Canadian friend Neil.. aged 75. passed late Thursday the 27th of June. It was NOT unexpected, as his health had been on a steady downward path for last 9 months. For the last 2 months Neil was confined to a bed, and unable to stand at all. I established communications with his daughter Karen in Alberta back in April this year, in anticipation, and surely enough it's been needed. Per his own wishes, and in keeping with the limited budget available to Neil and his family, Neil was cared for at his own home by a young couple, with twice daily visits by nurses from a medical clinic in Balam
