How sad this was....

Flew FRA-LAX on LH 450 in F. (Loved the FRA terminal). Interesting how things happen. We met two ladies on the ride from the terminal to the plane. Mother and daughter. Mother was 92. They were going to the funeral of another daughter. A parent should never have to outlive a child. As we climbed the stairs to the jetway, we marvelled at what good shape the 92 year old was in.

Flight began superbly. About 5.5 hours in, I noticed that many people were looking over at the old lady. Indeed, she died in her sleep on the flight.

How sad for the suriving daughter, who now is facing two deaths in her family.

They covered the body with a white sheet. The daughter placed roses on top. There was a limited meal service given the circumstances.

At LAX, we pulled up to the remote gate 208. The F cabin was asked to remain onboard. LAPD arrived and itnerviewed us. Then we were released.

May this family find peace and goodness through one another.
