RIP to one of my most beloved co-workers, Fran. She was a wonderful lady, and I talked to her all the time--she had a wicked sense of humor, and always came by my office to say hello every time she was in. I just saw her at our quarterly meeting a week and a half ago and we had a great conversation. We got the word yesterday morning that she had passed away unexpectedly--apparently, it was carbon monoxide poisoning in her house. I'm just devastated for her family--her husband passed a few years ago, and it's awful that it happened Christmas night. I will sincerely miss her, as she was one of my favorite people to work with on a daily basis.
Folks, if you don't have CO detectors, GET THEM. Preferably, the plug-in kind that have battery backup. One on each floor. It could happen to anyone.
My sincerest condolences shaf. Awful.
When we got our new A/C and heating unit the company which installed it put two CO detectors in. Said it was company policy.
