He had been with Aunt Iowa before she passed on, and she was actually excited about going to heaven to be with God and family.  Mom said she remembers he was so affected by Aunt Iowa that she was affected by his talking about it.  To this day she (Mom) has an unusual peace about the death of a loved one--even her husband, my father, in '96.
