Dayton Spence on life-support?

I just got a call from a friend who is a relative of Dayton Spence's. She said that Spence is on life support. He had an aneurism (sp) on his heart. She was requesting prayers. I have no idea how he is but i am certain that all his friends would love to know and send their love or prayers for him or just good vibes his way. I have not had any way to confirm this but i have no reason to suspect that this woman is lying - she has nothing to gain from it. If i hear anything else on this I will let you know. Remind people to connect to those people in their lives who they love.
Thank you for keeping the tribes sight going. its so important.
Blessings,
MaryElaine & David Chambers

I anyone has any further information on Dayton Spence, please post it here. I will update to this main page as information is acquired.

James Knoll says:
Heather Tupy passed away in Chicago where she had been living. Best known around the corridor as a bartender at Third Street Saloon. She was a friend and sister to Michael Briggs and Keith Kelly. She worked for many years at Ford and was living in Hamtramck and working for Sierra Medical up until about a year ago when she relocated to Chicago. She was a warm person who loved animals and lived her life like she wanted. I will always miss her wry sense of humor.

She died unexpectedly on Thursday Feb.11,2010 at 57 years of age, cause of death believed to be cardiac arrest. There will be a memorial in Chicago details as yet unknown.
There also are plans in the works to celebrate her life in Detroit at Suzy's Bar 2942 Eveline Hamtramck 872-9016. I'll try to post details asap or call Suzy's early in March.
