Shocker

I got a message on my answering machine from Mom. My uncle died, her brother. Apparently he got up to go to the bathroom and collapsed on the floor. The coroner thought it was a massive heart attack (heart and blood pressure problems do run on that side of the family). Mom thought this happened yesterday and aunt has not called back with the autopsy results. He will be cremated and Mom was uncertain if he will be buried. No funeral plans have been set yet. I will miss his funny xmas letters from Spokane, WA where flowers grow bigger than here. I think he is a year older than Dad and just celebrated his birthday 4 days ago, so I would say he died at age 73.
