Bad news...

Mom just called...my uncle Nelson (the nice one!) passed away yesterday morning! Went to fix his morning coffee and that was it! He would have been 81 the end of this month. Needless to say, Mom is very upset...and sad...but she takes things in stride...she's amazing!! Her biggest worry this morning was that the other uncle, Llewellyn...would come up from Maryland and take over the funeral arrangements and make it a Mormon spectacle! Nelson was NOT a Mormon! Oh well, hope all goes well. It was FREEZING here this morning...gonna go sit in the sun to warm up my hands!!
