[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Outlets are cutting out a lot of what daughter Leslie said. Here’s a more complete example:

“Despite his age, he was in very good physical condition,” Leslie said about her father, adding that he did not have any major surgeries in the last few months before his death. “He liked to do Pilates and yoga, and he was continuing to do that several times a week. So he was in good health.”

Given that Hackman was 95 years old, Leslie is aware that it’s “not terribly shocking.” But Arakawa’s death at 63 poses more questions. She said the two had “a wonderful marriage,” adding: “And I give credit to his wife, Betsy, for keeping him alive.”

“[Betsy] took very, very good care of him and was always looking out for his health,” Leslie added. “So I am appreciative to her for that, and I’m very saddened by her passing.”

Doesn’t seem like there was ill will with Betsy. [/quote]

I'm glad no ill well towards Betsy, but really? Just looking at Gene outside leaning on Betsy...that was not a man doing yoga and pilates. [/quote]

People don't always have the most clear-eyed view of how the people they love are aging.

PP here. +1 I agree with you. [/quote]

Even though we were talking about hospice when one of my parents passed, I was still in surprised and in shock.  In hindsight, it's very easy to realize I had blinders on.[/quote]
