Norman Hendrickson passed away being driven to the funeral home to view wife Gwendoline's ashes on February 16 in Cambridge, NY

A heartbroken husband who died on the way to his wife's funeral on Saturday was honored by his family in the way that he had lived - and laid to rest alongside his beloved spouse. Norman Hendrickson, 94, died suddenly en route to his 89-year-old wife Gwendoline's funeral on February 16. The couple had been married for 66 years. In the midst of their grief, the couple's daughters knew that there was only one thing to do - hold a joint service for their parents who had been inseparable throughout their lives. Mr Hendrickson, a World War II veteran, was mourned at the same New York funeral home where his wife Gwen's funeral was already scheduled last Saturday. Mrs Hendrickson was 89 when she died on February 8. Her husband died just steps from the funeral home where he had planned to say goodbye to his wife.
The couple's two daughters Norman and Merrilyne said it was a fitting way to say goodbye to a couple who had been together since meeting in Britain during World War II. Norman was overseas with the U.S. Army when he met Gwen, who was serving in the British Royal Air Force. She immigrated to America and they were married in May 1947.Norma Howland told the Post-Star of Glens Falls: 'After we had a little time to process the shock and horror, we felt we couldn't have written a more perfect script. 'My sister said the only thing he didn't do was fall into the casket.'
Mr Hendrickson, a former assistant postmaster in Cambridge, was being driven in a limousine to the Ackley and Ross Funeral Home for his wife's service when he stopped breathing. After the limo pulled up, funeral director Jim Gariepy, who is also the local coroner, and funeral home owner Elizabeth Nichols-Ross helped move Norman to the sidewalk outside the business. Gariepy began CPR while Ms Nichols-Ross and one Norman's sons-in-law raced across town to retrieve his do-not-resuscitate orders from the Hendricksons' refrigerator door.

Once the orders were in hand, an emergency crew that had arrived ceased attempts to revive Norman. He died on the sidewalk. Nichols-Ross said daughter Merrilyne Hendrickson then requested that her father's body be put into a casket and placed in the viewing room with her mother's cremated remains, which had been placed in an urn. Mourners who started arriving soon after for Gwen's funeral were greeted by a note Merrilyne posted at the entrance: 'Surprise - It's a double header - Gwen and Norman Hendrickson - February 16, 2013.' Ms Nichols-Ross said she didn't charge the family for Norman's wake. On his prayer card, she jokingly wrote that Mr Hendrickson got the idea to die in the limo headed to the funeral so he could get 'a buy-one-get-one-free deal'.
'If it had happened with somebody else like this it would have been sad, but with Norm it wasn't,' Nichols-Ross said. 'It was just so much like Norm.'
Norman was overseas with the U.S. Army when he met Gwen, who was serving in the British Royal Air Force. She immigrated to the U.S. and they were married in May 1947. Mrs Howland said her parents had jokingly promised to never leave one spouse behind. After her mother died, Howland said she overheard her father say aloud: 'We have had a good long life together. I love you. I'll miss you and watch for me.'

That's an average mileage for a 7 year old car, industry average is 15000 miles per year. This car has not been abused but it wouldn't hurt to request for the maintenance history. Acura TL is a very durable and exotic car. Good taste, highly recommended.

"Arise, O Compatriots"
Arise, O compatriots,
Nigeria's call obey
To serve our Fatherland
With love and strength and faith.
The labour of our heroes past
Shall never be in vain,
To serve with heart and might
One nation bound in freedom, peace and unity.

Akshow: oh Shut da f up! How do you yourself know they are guilty?

Definitely you are one of them, what is your interest in defending evil kidnappers and insulting others like you are doing if you are not one of them? If you or your family have been a victim of these evil people you won't be talking like this. However, you are rude, uncultured, ignorant and lacking in decency. The law will soon catch up with you wherever you are hiding, keep insulting.

Akshow: Its only in Nigeria that a suspect is locked up without being proven guilty. I can bet anythin that one or more of these guys are innocent. Before you know What is happenin them go murd them with a proper trial

You must be a fraudster, kidnapper or a criminal to criticize why these heartless animals are being kept in custody. Any individual who violates other people's rights like that is inviting others to violate theirs. The burden of proof is on them, let them proof their innocence and they will go free. They have murdered sleep, they will never rest. They deserve no mercy.

Look who's talking!

The minimum you can get this engine minus local delivery and shipping to Nigeria is $500 here in Florida. I think it's cheaper to source for this engine locally but make sure they test it and have a written warranty that it will serve u for at least a year, then you should be ready to go. Wish you best of luck.

This model come with a 4.0 Liters engine, very strong and rugged, never dies if well-taken care of, check the reason why it overheats in the first place, otherwise what happened to the current engine could re-occur. Best of Luck. Pls whoever who towed this vehicle should pay for all those damages.

SEUN, thank you for making this forum possible, you are a real trailblazer, more grease to your elbow.

The Versa is Nissan's current entry-level model in the United States and Canada.[7] The Versa is marketed as a subcompact, competing against the Honda Fit, Hyundai Accent and Toyota Yaris.[8]

The North American Versa debuted at the 2006 North American International Auto Show in January of the same year. The hatchback model was introduced first, with the sedan arriving later at the end of the year, both as 2007 models. A 1.6-litre sedan replaced the 1.8 sedan in Canada for the 2009 model year, that year in the United States the 1.6 sedan was added to the lineup along the 1.8 sedan.

The Versa is powered by a 1.8 L I4 MR series engine producing 122 hp (91 kW) and 127 ft·lbf (170 N·m).[8] Three transmissions are offered: a four-speed automatic, a continuously variable transmission (CVT), and a six-speed manual. It is one of two cars in its class (in the North American market) to offer a six-speed manual transmission as standard equipment (next to the 2012 Hyundai Accent). Two trim levels include the S and SL—the SL offering air conditioning, power accessories and ABS, all of which are options on the S. The Versa SL also has features/options not available on the S such as cruise control (available on some S models), alloy wheels, optional CVT (the 4-speed automatic is only available for the Versa S but CVT is available on some S models), optional Bluetooth connectivity for electronic devices, and a sport package which adds a power moonroof, rear spoiler, and underside aero kit.

2010 models featured a redesigned grille and a new design for the 1.8S model's wheel covers. In North America, the sedan was replaced by its second generation starting the 2012 model year (hence, 2011 being its last). The fate of the hatchback was however extended for one more year, 2012 being its last. Production of both for that market stopped in mid-2011

Versa is rated by the Deapartment of Highway Safety as having the worst safety record, although it's fuel efficient but it's not durable and has low resale value. Iwould recommend the TOYOTA MATRIX, it has the same engine and platform as Corola, but also body style like the Golf since you like hatchback, durable, fuel efficient, low maintenance and you will enjoy the ride. GO FOR IT.

• A £30,000 Toyota was given a £100,000 makeover, Outside armour can withstand rifle rounds, hand grenades and landmines, Lavish interior includes a champagne bar, widescreen TV and iPads
The owner of a run-of-the-mill Toyota wasn’t satisfied with the style and protection the car came with off the belt, and spent £100,000 to add a champagne bar, a widescreen TV and grenade proof armour. The Toyota Sequoia SUV, which retails at £30,000, has been converted to withstand driving over a landmine as well as the lavish additions on the inside. Its exterior remains as anonymous as before, but open the door and the changes are far more noticeable. The result is a fortress on wheels which includes a widescreen TV, wood trim, leather thrones, champagne compartments and mounted tablet computers on the side. The outside has been armoured to withstand 7.62x51mm rifle rounds, hand grenades and landmines.
