My Friend & Ex-Husband

My ex-husband died today. 4pm, pacific time.  Heart failure they said. He had had a quadruple bypass nearly ten years ago and it seems that one of the stints was rejecting his heart. He was at the library, where he spent a lot of his time and one of the girls noticed he was having chest pains and called for an ambulance. He died before he reached the hospital. My 23 year old daughter got the call, and my youngest son just happened to be visiting from California this week. It was very hard to tell him his daddy had died. He was 52. He was a good man and a good father. A lover of music and life! He will be dearly missed by his family and his friends. We love you Billy! We will miss you  very much!
