My grandfather did not die of a heart attack in the garage, my grandmother accidentally hit him with the car. What happened was she was in the driveway trying to back out, he was standing in front of the car guiding her, she thought she was in reverse, she was looking back, pressed the gas, car went forward and pinned my grandfather against the garage door. I was 6 at the time and I still remember her sobbing uncontrollably at his wake, almost screaming. She kept calling out to him. They had been married 52 years. She never drove after that, she would walk miles to the grocery store. She never spoke about how he died, but spoke about him all the time. She would always tell me stories and ask me about my memories of him so that I wouldn't forget them. She lived another 23 years with that guilt. She was a strong lady. 1K Dislike Many years later, I had overheard my dad telling someone that his father had died of a car accident. I interjected and said "he died of a heart attack in a car, that's not a car accident". I was then let in on the family secret.
