Today my youngest uncle on Mom’s side died peacefully in his sleep. Although Uncle Ken had experienced a few serious health challenges in recent years, he seemed to be doing very well lately. His family wasn’t ready to “lose” him, but I guess his way was the best way to go. Now there are just … Continue reading

Wally, Clemina, Duke, Timber, Toby, Rosie, etc.
