I just got word around 7 tonight that my dad's oldest brother passed away.  He was at work and passed out and never regained consciousness.  I"m so numb.I had to go tell my grandma (his mom) because we are about an hour from where they live and someone had to tell her in person.  I was so scared and all I could think about was how rough her year has been.   We lost my cousin (her grandchild) in April to ovarian cancer, her sister in June, and now her son.    I'm very close to his children and almost all of my happy lake memories are because of him and my aunt.   I will miss him a lot.   He always said "take care kiddo" like I was still little.He has done so much with his life and that poem about the dash is so fitting.   His dash was SO big because he was so awesome.   Please keep my family in your thoughtsThanks~**Talking to my grandma was very hard.  She did so much better than I thought.    When she called the brothers well...that wasn't as good.  But all in all she is doing very well.   I went to my aunt's all yesterday cleaned, organized, helped, cried and did alot of hugging.   My aunt is a mess as I would expect.   Keep her in your thoughts.We really don't know a "reason" for his fall but it sounds as if he was gone quickly and we are awaiting an autopsy to know for sure.  A HUGE thanks to you my friends for your thoughts.   The next two days will be long and sad.   Thanks again I know he is with my grandpa and 2 cousins~

I'm so sorry for your loss, sending prayers for your family.
