Bad way to start out the new year

Today around 2:oo pm, Tom's sister, Julie, called to tell him that his Uncle Bob had died. Uncle Bob's wife had passed away just before Thanksgiving. We knew he felt a very deep loss with her passing, but did not realize just how much he did. Tom spoke with him last weekend and he seemed to be coming around pretty good. His death sure puts a black cloud over everthing.

Julie also reported Tom's brother, Roger, was admitted to the hospital on Saturday. this was the same day that his stepson got married.

The only real good news was that Tom's mother came home from the hospital on Sunday.

Well it appears we are going to make another trip to Ohio this week for another funeral. Bummer :-(.....
