on her pillow, as he does at times - waiting for her to join him. She couldn't wake him or move him, so she called the Paramedic's, who took him to the hositpal. He never came to but just passed on - in his sleep she said. It has been one long day - trying to help find all the out of state relatitives and all the in state relatives were even more difficult to find as it was our state holiday - but nonetheless - it was handled with kid gloves and I feel very tired and so upset over losing him. He was just 70 and most might say he had a long life - but I feel he went way to early and so do his children and grandchildren. So much earlier than his siblings and parents when they passed. Keep the family in your prayers.

Dear Shirlene, I am so sorry for the Loss of your Uncle. I will be keeping all of you in prayer. It is hard loosing a love one when "expected", but when they go unexpectedly, it has to be a lot harder.

thankyou all for your pryaers - we are each doing better than we were - we also remembered all he has said - all the mishevious things that he did in his life time - all the fun times - all the joy he brought to our lifes - so we will celebrate his life with us - rather than a funeral - we will share stories of the funny things - the good times and the joy he brought to each of us. The viewing will be Monday evening and the services followed by a big family meal - will be in at 11 am on Tuesday. Thank you each for your thoughts and for your support - it is so appreciated.

I'm glad you decided to go with the joy he brought into your lives! We did the same at my Dad's funeral, had the whole church laughing. It was how he lived his life, laughing and enjoying himself and others, death doesn't change that. Sorry the obit wouldn't enlarge for me, but I'm sure you did it up fine!! Big hugs, Marji

Shirlene, your Uncle was obviously much loved and admired by family and friends and he returned it in kind. No one could ask for a better epitaph than that. Thinking and praying for you and your family.

So very sorry shirlene. Just comfort yourself with the thought, God had a better place for him. We do not understand but God is in control & give those who grieve Grace to cope if they lean on him. *

Shirlene, I have just seen this post for the first time. I am soryy to hear about your Uncle Jim. I do not think 70 is old for someone that has not been sickly. I have 2 aunts ,one 76 and the other 78 that were still very young until the oldest got sick a couple of years ago. She has never gotten back to her young self but she is a beautician and she still works 3/4 days a week. She owns the shop and will not give it up! I am 62 but she has made me look old for the past 17 years. That is when my arthritis got so bad. The oldest aunt has never married and her sister has a husband, 4 children a 4 houses full of grand children. She drove a school bus until she had to quit and now all the grands are always at her house. 5 of the grand children are driving and 1 of them is in college. She did not have her first child until she was 31. I think they both partied until the youngest got married. No, 70 is not what I call old. It is hard to lose a family member that we have grown up with all our lives and you never really stop missing them. I do hope the family has settled down some and has has helped each other cope with the loss. Your Aunt Jude will probably never get over it. If they have been together all these years, I know that she will always miss him and will find it harder than the rest. Give her our love and let her know that we here at Cute are thinking about her. Linda
