Had an Aunt pass away last year. I had been working out of town at the time and didn"t find out about it until the last second and wasn"t able to attend any of the services either. She was one of the kindest, sweetest people you'd ever want to meet. Out of all my relatives she was the only one that you knew every year you'd get a personal card from at the Holidays and your birthday. Anyway, between working out of town, and the late notification, what else was I supposed to do as there was no way I could get back in town for everything? Even with the circumstances I feel really bad about not being able to be there, but what else could I do?
Too, I've had two really good friends/customers pass in the last couple of years. In one case I had stopped in quite a few times to see the old guy and he was never at home. The lights were always on, the vehicles/tractors were always in different places, etc, so I figured he was simply spending more of his evenings at his kids house, like he had been doing since his wife had passed several years prior. It was nearly a year before I was talking to another guy and found out that he had passed away. The other guy I went past the church and saw all of the vehicles and the thought passed through my mind that with that turnout it had to be him, but I hadn"t received a call even though I had talked to his son a week or so before and asked him to make sure I was on the list as I really wanted to be there.
Ultimately I guess when someone passes the family has so much going on that expecting them to remember, or to even think, to call the amount of people that want to know is really asking way too much. As such, personally, I feel bad for not being there to show my sympathy, share in remembering the life of the deceased, etc, etc, but I do understand when "someone" gets overlooked in all the craziness of the situation.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together.
