They called to come to me, but it did not. And if we only drank red wine, but this time had brought some reason Zasedatelev beer that is not particularly fond. Upon arrival at home, ate with his wife and lay down on the couch to rest - after otpahal 500 km by car. Albina apologized on business, and when she returned, Volodya was cold - a heart attack. Place in an old cemetery for Pyatnitskoye former husband, next to his parents, beat Babkin, a deep bow to them for it. At the memorial service, I thanked the hope that she, like a true Cossacks, all ceremonies - organized as it should be - and the funeral and burial.
