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.

Condolence to you and the family! Hope you all have peace and comfort.
May your Uncle rest in peace.

So sorry for you and your families loss. My deepest sympathy and may he rest in peace.

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.

so sorry for your loss. hugs to all.

I just got back from Thanksgiving dinner. We looked at old photos and managed to have few laughs at some of the funny things my uncle Melvin and other deceased relatives did at Thanksgiving and Christmas parties over the years. Most of my mother's family have their graves close by. Both my parents who are still alive and my uncle Melvin and aunt Shirley prepurchased their plots years ago. Uncle Melvin's is close enough to the street that last year when were all their visiting my grandparents and other aunts and uncles graves, he said that when he dies we don't have to get out of ours cars, just pull up to the curb and throw flowers at his grave. So, today his daughter, my cousin Susan, said she's going to do that for him once. Sometime next week when hopefully no strangers are around she's going drive up and throw a flower out the window. Her son the marine who I mentioned before died of brain cancer, is buried in the same cemetery so she's out there a lot.

I asked my aunt how she was doing. She said she's okay but life wont be the same. She won't be alone. Her children and grandchildren all live near by, And they'll be there when she needs them.

Apparently people are still doing that pokemon thing. And they have no respect, the walk around the veterans' circle with the smart phones looking for a pokemon among the graves.

Guybrush it sounds like your family is close in spirit and there to help your aunt thru this difficult. Take heart knowing we are all thinking of you and here for you too. Take care.
