-=> Quoting Patti Jones to Sondra Ball <=-
Hi, Patti,
 PJ> When I got there, I asked where my
 PJ> Dad was, and they said, his room is down there...but he's not in
 PJ> there.  I asked, did he go to the hospital?  They said, oh you didn't
 PJ> know?  Know WHAT ? I asked. They said, he died at 11:05 this morning.
 PJ> Needless to say, I wasn't on the flight back home that night. 
I am so sorry to hear of this.  Please accept my deepest sympathies.
I am sorry that you learned this sad news in such a crude and insensitive
way.  It should have been obvious to these people that if you were asking
if your father had been taken to the hospital, you could not have known
that he had passed away.
Take care,
Robin
