Re: [QUAD-L] I Regret The Passing Of........
Hi Smurf, Houston was buried on the very day of the announcement and he burial site was not announced. But later, both Warrior and I found out the details after taking with Houston's Uncle in Gary,IN. We plan on doing something in the Spring when it is warmer, and drier. Nothing was mentioned about his family or extended family. I don't know if Houston was ever married, but had 3-4 children, as the story goes. Warrior, may also choose to chime in with what she was told. Thanks for your sincere interest. Best Wishes W In a message dated 1/24/2007 4:48:43 P.M.

Re: Fwd: Re: [QUAD-L] I Regret The Passing Of........
Hi, WW and others...I called the funeral home trying to find out the cause of death, so we would all know if it was SCI related or other. They told me it is illegal to give out that information. That seems very weird because in many obituaries here in St. Louis they tell you the cause such as Cancer, heart Attack or long illness and so on.Any way I guess we will never know unless Andrea-WW or one of those closer to indiana hear why.

You are most welcome, Dana. I would pursue the what ever happened as Houston was only in St.Louis for about 6 weeks before he returned to Indy... according to one of his neighbors. I just finished talking with Warrior who was also good friends with Houston. We are both banging our brains. It happens when there are no immediate answers.

Re: Fwd: [QUAD-L] I Regret The Passing Of........
I wondered what happened to Houston myself.he moved here to St. Louis and said he was getting some good physical therapy at St.Louis Rehab, then I never heard from him again, he was a bit down about the caregiver situation but I'm not sure if he was still in St. Louis or had gone back to Indiana..Sorry too to hear the sad news.

Re: Fwd: [QUAD-L] I Regret The Passing Of........
I know Houston will be missed. He had a lot of years as a quad. I hope it was peaceful. I hope someone was there. I know I dread the idea of being alone at that moment. My doctors as well as my own experience lets me know that traumatic quads rarely live as long as he did. He never seemed to be bothered by being a quad, just inconvenienced by the many issues and constant petty problems that associate with many of our lives. It takes a lot to face this life, let alone, to stare it down for forty years. I could never judge him or any of you. I have the deepest respect for all of you. There is bravery involved in telling society that you want a life and then grasping one from what little is left. Houston did it everyday, and he didn't hesitate to remind us that he was still here and he MATTERED! I never met him face to face, but I'd like to think he was my friend as much as he was a friend to everyone he tried to help on the list. john C-5 31 years post In a message dated 12/30/06 17:30:06 Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I wondered what happened to Houston myself.he moved here to St. Louis and said he was getting some good physical therapy at St.Louis Rehab, then I never heard from him again, he was a bit down about the caregiver situation but I'm not sure if he was still in St. Louis or had gone back to Indiana..Sorry too to hear the sad news.
