Saturday sadness

I got a call yesterday from Tim's mom saying his Aunt Jeanie had passed away in her sleep. She is Tim's dad's brother's wife. Danny (Tim's uncle) and Jeanie were in a car accident back in October and have been in separate nursing homes since they were released from the hospital at different times (Jeanie had a broken leg). Danny had just been released from the nursing home a few days ago, and had purchased a car so he could visit Jeanie more often. When he got home and called the nursing home to see if he could visit, he got the news that his wife had just passed away. Apparently there had been a flu bug going around the nursing home, with a quarantine. So Danny was calling to see if he would be allowed to visit--if the quarantine had lifted.

Jeanie had gotten the flu and passed away peacefully in her sleep yesterday. Danny, of course, is heartbroken.

Danny's a very close relative, as he lived with Tim's parents for awhile and married later in life. Tim and his brothers are like his own children. Tim, Jeff, Greg & our Luke will be pallbearers.

Please pray for Danny at this tough time. He will have a lot of decisions to make. We are very grateful for Debbie, his step-daughter-in-law, who has been helping Danny with all of this.

Till next time,
