Yesterday, Carolyn was feeling ill. In the evening, she decided to have me take her to the ER. On the way out of the house, she had a sudden, unexpected cardiac arrest. I did CPR, the paramedics did CPR, but nothing worked. She was pronounced dead at Union Hospital at 9:30 PM. I'll probably never know what she died of.
