Kaiser & the Pearly Gates

Although Grandma went to be with the Lord July 10, we still have many, many reminders of her all around the house. Her legacy has continued in the things she taught us as well as the many things she made. We miss her.

Often the mail brings us reminders of a different kind. Kaiser, her health care provider, sent several letters and brochures to her in the weeks following her death ranging from "Health Tips for Seniors" to "Information Regarding Your Plan". The more time passed, the more I'd shake my head. You'd think her health care provider would have a clue that she no longer has health to provide for.

Finally in late August, we received a letter from Kaiser addressed to "The Estate of Della Rowlands". Eureka! They updated their records! However, the message on the outside of the envelope was a little baffling: "Important! Continuing Your Coverage: Enclosed is valuable information about how to continue your Kaiser Permanente membership. Please read the enclosed materials immediately."

Now I don't claim to know everything about heaven, but I'm thinking along with "No more tears and no more sorrows" it's also true that there is "no more Kaiser". I hope so, because we don't have a clue how to forward her this "important" information.


Sidenote: I got tired of pink. I changed my blog template tonight and lost all of my links. No problem--I'm so tech savvy I'll just put them on again, and THIS TIME, it will be alphabetical! (Except for Indiana Update--that's my sister & my inspiration, and she'll always be on top!) Anyway, I was working down my "favorites" shortcut and it was working dandy until I got to Andy. Everytime I added him, the entire side bar would erase. Personally, I think it's because of the unkind comments he made on Josh's blog about the Giants--not so dandy, Andy. I will try again tomorrow to add in all those awesome links I lost tonight. This is why I never redecorate my house!
