That use to be the case but not anymore...or at least not everywhere. My electic bill is due around the 1st of each month. When my mom got sick last November I went to TX. Long story short, she passed away on the December 5th and I came home is shock. I just lost my dad in July. On December 16th, they pulled up and turned off our electric! I was shocked!! Granted I was 2 weeks late on the payment but geez. I offered to pay it on the spot and he said he wasn't allowed to take the payment; that I'd have to call the 1-800 number, etc.
In answer to your question, I agree with everyone else. You texted and that's all you can really do until she gets back to you. Good luck!

For the utilities to be shut off..they would have to be more than a few months behind.
