He never showed and never called and had voice mail on his phone that he would not pick up or return calls. He did not contact me until the next day. This was a very special occasion for my mom as she was very frail, it took two of us to help her in the house. I was devastated. One of the few things she loved was entertainment and I trusted Brian to show up. It was my last gift to her.
Well there was no entertainment and my mom passed last week.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I read your article in the online newspaper.
I found it very touching, probably because I went through exactly the same hospice experience with my mom.
I'm so sorry Brian Carl didn't show up when he was booked for such an important occasion.
Your mom was lucky to have such a wonderful daughter in her corner.
