My mother was last of twelve children. Now there are only two her and her sister Artis. My uncle Melvin, lsst of mom's brothers, died this afternoon, about 10 minutes after I asked my father on the phone how he was doing.
Only uncle I have left is my father's younger brother.

Thank you. Mom says it hasn't really hit her yet that he's gone.

Thank you everyone. I have a photograph in a magnetic frame hanging on a file cabinet to my right. Taken in 1993 it has the then 9 living brothers and sisters standing togther on what was my aunt Pauline's 75th birthday. She's gone now too. One of my mother's brothers I never met, he died in WWII long before I was born. Now down to two sisters, including my mother. I love this photograph. Although its hard to look at it today.

My condolences to you and your mom and sister.
Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody Gibran

My condolences to you and to your family.
I change all my passwords to "incorrect". So whenever I forget, it says, "your password is incorrect".

Thank you everybody. Funeral is Friday. To quote my mother "this really is Black Friday". I have to work but get off two hours before the funeral.
