Aunt Sugar update

This morning, as I sat here posting about my Aunt Sugar, with my cell phone sitting right here by the keyboard, the hospital called, twice. And my Sprint cell phone didn't ring either time. When I noticed the message and returned the call, they said she had taken a turn, and probably would not live another hour. The day has been a blur since then, racing to the hospital to find her already passed away, waiting with her until the funeral home came to remove her, calling the attorney to see how I could get all this stuff done without have any papers authorizing me to do so, going thru her apartment looking for a will, a life insurance policy, any funds to help pay for a funeral, etc. To her bank to learn that she had not put me on her accounts as she had planned to do. Then to the funeral home to start making plans. One more important stop I made was Sprint, where the phone worked perfectly every time they called it. Incredible. I miss my Aunt's call for help because of this stupid phone. Then I miss the hospital's call that she is going fast because of this phone. And then it behaves perfectly when I go in to complain about it. I wonder why Sprint is losing market share?
