conv: I was so upset when I heard my Grandma had passed. I was overseas and didn't know about it as nobody could contact me. I was over here in the US when my Grandma passed in Scotland. I was so upset - nobody could get hold of me to tell me and her funeral was over before I knew about it. Thats sad. Have you been to Scotand since? Only for funerals_comma_ unfortunately. Both my parents have since died. Unpleasant fact of life_comma_ I'm afraid. Im sorry to hear that. Were you born there? Yes I was. I didn't come to the US until I was in my 30s. Didn't expect my Grandma to pass the minute I got here_comma_ but she was 96_comma_ so it shouldn't have been such a surprise! 96! Wow. Thats a full life! She was as fit as a flea too. She tripped and broke her hip and got a bad infection in the hospital. That's what she died of! Wow. She probably couldve kept going for years if it wasnt for that.
