MY WIFE LEFT ME WHILE I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL TOO.
When Angela tried to understand better what happened, Rip Micheals said, “I guess when they said til death do us part, she’s a go getter. She don’t like to procrastinate so she was out!”

He joked again saying, “I guess when they said I was in ICU, she was like, ‘I’ll see you later.’ She was out of there.”
