a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone
that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped
over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got
her a new plate of food - wh ile she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid
went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband
called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the
hospital - (at6:00pm, Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at
the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps
Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a
helpless, hopeless condition instead.</span></span></font><font
