One unassuming evening at the dinner table of the Moore's an unfortunate event took place. The newlywed family of Mr. and Mrs. Moore along with their four year old son Jerry were sitting down with a lovingly prepared meal by Mrs. Moore. Mrs. Moore graciously dismissed herself from the table to use the restroom shortly after sitting down with her family. Mr. Moore and his son talked about their days at school and work. Little Jerry said his drawing was selected in art class by his peers as the picture they wanted to use for this year's yearbook cover. He was so thrilled and elated about it. His father was very satisfied with his sons talent and congratulated him on that honor. Mr. Moore had also received some good news at the office that he was waiting for his wife to return to tell the family at once.
About fifteen minutes had passed and mother still had not returned to the dinner table so Little Jerry asked his father where mommy was? Mr. Moore said she should be back by now so he sent Jerry up to go check on her. Jerry quietly removed his napkin from his collar and set it down on the linen table to go look for his mother. He jumped up the wooden staircase leading to their bathroom where he thought mommy was going to be. Only when he knocked on the door there was no answer. Little Jerry after knocking again felt the door nudge open so he presumed to look in. When Little Jerry peeked into the bathroom he saw a sight he could not fathom, mommy was laying on the floor with her pants down around her ankles and not moving. Jerry went to help mommy up for he thought she had just fallen but when he tried to help her and call out her name she would not budge. Jerry became very frightened and called out for daddy. Mr. Moore came in a rush to find his beloved wife along with his young son lying on the ground. Mrs. Moore had suffered a fatal heart attack while his son simply said, 'mommy won't wake up daddy'.
