Another death -

Well, as one life enters this world, another leaves - isn't that the way the world goes around? We have had yet another death in our family...yes you read that correctly! 5 deaths in 2 years (just on MY side!) Is that normal?

My mom's brother, Reggie, passed away suddenly Wednesday night from a massive heart attach - yes, I have the bad genes on both sides! Please keep my mom in your prayers as she just lost her mother a year ago this month.

Sorry to be "Debbie Downer"
