Oldest Uncle died yesterday.

[JoabAnias]

We lost his wife a couple months back unexpectantly. (Uncle Freeman and Lucy from Ct.)

He was in his 80's and cancer got him. He is the 3rd of 12 siblings to die from cancer.

Uncle Freeman, Aunt Lucy and the whole survivinig family could use prayers.

Thanks in advance.

Praying for you and your family.

Thanks.

Couldn't have come at a worse time for us. As we box up everything we own to be ready for the movers tomorrow.

By the time we get a breather Uncle Freeman will already be in the ground.

Its at times like this that I can't help but wonder about that passage in scripture when Jesus told the apostles to follow him and let the dead bury the dead.

Not that my Uncle Freeman was agnostic like many in the rest of the family, but just in the sense that we can't make it to the funeral.

Anyway, we take solace in the fact that we can pray him into heaven by adding him to our daily prayers for the faithful departed - if need be.

Thanks again for the prayers.

Besides the obvious, it's so hard when we lose our older family members. I can't help but think of that old Catholic Digest article about the very thing--it's like a library burning down.

I'm so sorry Joab. Prayers for your Uncle Freeman, Aunt Lucy, you and the entire family.
