    Not at all! I would wonder myself as well. It's too bad the phone company couldn't help.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Donna, not at all. How would you ever know whether they could track the call or not unless you asked.

    I don't think it was a dumb thing to do at all. Sorry that you had to go thru that with your dad.

    As a off the wall suggestion, if by some fluke anyone happens to have any of his old utility bills the calls might show up there. Just a thought.

    I agree with all the others. I would have wanted to know myself.

    Donna, I'm sorry you had to go through that, and I can understand you wanted to know, I would have too. I'm not sure, but from your description of what happened, it seems that your father didn't get to make any calls. If he managed to take the reciever off the hook, wouldn't the telephone company have known something was wrong and then contacted the police?

    I'm thankful I was here when John died, had I been out, I would never have forgiven myself or stopped thinking what had happened.

    At least, I hope it is a comfort for you that your father went quickly and didn't suffer.

    ((((hugs))))

    It's hard, even now after 10 years. I smelled cigar smoke the other day. I knew he was around me someplace!!

    I dragged a huge box of his personal stuff to Michigan with me. I was afraid someone would take it and steal is identify. Even my brother said, "Donna, he's f-ing dead, let it go!!" I was pretty shocked but dragged the box all over anyway. Besides, even if I COULD find a copy of his telephone bill the last week of his life,

    Oh well, just one more unanswered question.
