I highly doubt this will be all that loyal to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I don't know as I much care.

My grandmother died a few weeks ago. She was 91, and her health had been going downhill rapidly for the past year or so (pneumonia, some sort of bone cancer, various infections, etc.), so while it wasn't easy by any stretch of the imagination, it didn't exactly come as a surprise when it happened (like my uncle who died of a heart attack while on ( Read more... )
