Southwest bound in a few weeks

[Leroy Eckert]

My mom will leave Tampa in a hearse to Brandon very slowly, about an 8 mile
ride. #$%^ the owner mortician has already died. At 63 I am the oldest of 7
and she is still older and incredibly healthy. I should be so lucky. Mom has
previously advised me that she is not going to take a bus ride. LOL>lol>lol>
