RIP Fly in the Web, also known as Doris Ward or Helen Devries.

It appears my friend and yours, Fly in the Web has departed this life.

I say appears, as it is difficult obtaining confirmation from Costa Rica.  

Facebook has an option called 'Stories,' items that appear for 24 hours and then vanish.  I noticed one of these appeared to have a picture of Fly, along with her husband who died just over two years ago. The writing was of course Spanish and translates more or less 'RIP both of you.'  This led me to believe she has passed away.

Her last contact was via email last Tuesday, when she spoke of going to the hospital again.  I suggested she moved in as she had been back and forth several times, she did not like the idea, their 'cuisine' put her off.  There has been no contact since.    

I have left messages on email and on Facebook Messenger, but no reply.  I conclude the worst from this.  

It will be difficult for Danilo and the family there to deal with the situation, they have known her for many years and have been s part of her life.  The administration, the Lawyers, and what else that is required will be difficult for them to work out, let alone the loss.   So it is difficult without a phone number to call, or the ability to speak Costa Rican Spanish, to ascertain the situation.  It may be we will never know.  

Fly, will be buried on the Finca alongside her beloved.

I miss my friend greatly.
