was very willing to do so...I will check soon to see if it was done

I just spoke with the Vital Statistics board here in Colorado today. All

one needs to do is to approach the attending physician at death with the

autopsy report and request that he/she file an amended death certificate.

Now that we have the report, Mom and I will make an appointment with Dad's

doctor and get on with it.
