Ramona Bell dies


Ramona Bell, wife of Coast to Coast talk show icon, died unexpectantly. i went over to Unknown Country and found the article about Ramona's death. apparently, she died in her sleep of yet unknown causes. she did have asthma. if you are a Coast to Coast listener, you know how much Art loved his wife (and how much they loved their cats). he called her "my lovely wife, Ramona" more times than i can count. i just heard her over the holidays wishing her family well. she sounded wonderful. what a shock.
how do you handle a tragedy like that? what a horrible thing, to wake up and find your wife or husband dead beside you. how do you fucking handle that!!?? and why would this happen to a couple who so loved each other that, in the 15 years they were married, they were never a day apart? nice move God. what next? you gonna start drowning people by the the thousands (oh wait...you did do that more than a few times, eh? the Deluge, Tsunami, Katrina...yeah God, you rock.)
Art's a nice guy. he has given his MILLIONS of listeners years of company and enjoyment. i'm am sure he has helped thousands of truckers handle the long hauls. all he wanted was to spend his retirement with his wife and cats (and is HAM radio thingy) and this is what he gets.
George Noory...you'd better do something special in memory of Ramona! don't think of yourself, for once!
