2016 Takes Two More

Post by MarkD »

Yesterday my wife called me to tell me that my sister-in-law's father (my wife's brother's wife's father) died. It wasn't a surprise, he was in hospice.

Then I look at Facebook and see that my niece posted that her father (my brother) also died yesterday morning (or the night before, not sure of details yet). That was unexpected, he'd been in the hospital for pneumonia, went home, seemed to be feeling better, took a nap and didn't wake up. He was 71.

I'm the youngest of six, there are only three left now.

I'm sorry for your losses, Mark. I wish I could do more for you than add you to my prayer list.

Seems we can't drag this year out behind the barn and put rounds behind its ear fast enough.

Condolences.
