Thinking of the Bartlett Family

I am thinking of my husband's family today, as they lay Wayne's uncle George Bartlett to rest today. He was 82 years old and had suffered from Parkinson's for many years. While his death was not entirely unexpected, it is never easy for a family to say the final good-bye.

Then I found out today that one of Wayne's cousins died unexpectedly yesterday -- he was playing basketball with his father, collapsed and died. (I don't quite have the relationship right, it was Wayne's cousin's son.) Two different losses, two different lives, one family. A difficult time for everyone.
