How do you say goodbye to an old friend?

We may have only known him for the last 10 years, but 42 year old GE Air-conditioner (we called him Mr. Coolie) pushed out his last cold breath on Friday. Time of death is estimated at 7:39am. 

Brenda is quoted as saying “Early that morning I heard a loud scream and crashing noise from the yard. I didn’t think anything of it at the time, but later when Rachel called (our Nanny) and told me the house was 125 degrees and that the boys hair kept catching fire, I knew in my gut that Mr. Coolie was gone”. 

Memorial services will be held sometime this week when Mr. Coolie’s replacement (Mr. Efficient) is brought in to take over his duties. 

Mr. Coolie, we will miss hearing your loud clanging startup sounds and unheard of high electric bills. May you be in a better place now.
