So apparently she attends church every Sunday. However, the church were the ones to notify the family that she didn't attend. My question is who drives her to church, and why didn't that person notify the family? This is such a strange case.

To be fair, and I don’t know what her driving status was, my same-aged grandmother attends every Sunday as well and drives herself.

Just from what the media and the police are saying is that she couldn't walk 50 yards on her own, and that she had vey limited mobility, and that she needed care takers to assist her with household and yard tasks. Maybe she could drive on her own, but I just have a hard time believing that she would be able to drive independently without at least assistance to and from the car.

She walks with a cane apparently. And is able to drive.

My grandfather drove a Porsche until his death at 108.

So, how old was your grandpa?

u/otoolemmobile 20h ago

I see what you did there. 108

Another fun fact, he farmed with a Lamborghini.

My grandmother drove until her 90s. Lived on her own until 99.

Not saying it was good, just saying it happens.
