An unexpected tragedy
Added 2024-08-17 11:00:08 +0000 UTCFriends:
We've had a death in the family. My wife and daughter are fine, but we've suffered a loss. Someone close to us died far too young and we're pretty shaken up.
It's not my place to share more details, so I hope this brief note is enough.
The funeral services are tomorrow and I can't see myself working on Monday. I'm going to need a few days. I expect it's going to be a week (or more) before we have more videos for you.
Everyone is always SO supportive when I need a break. I know you're okay with me taking a little time, but I also like this community to stay informed. You deserve to know what's going on and when things are going to pick up again.
Thanks in advance for all your well wishes. This is truly a caring community and I'm always overwhelmed by the support I get when I suffer some difficulty.
Please take a moment and hug someone you love. Call an old friend. Check in on a neighbor.
I'll see you soon.
--Rex

2024-08-29 17:30:52 +0000 UTCHoping you and the family are ok. I'm thinking it was the young transplant girl who passed on. If so, it was a largely up hill fight from the start. If not them I'm happy for her but immensely sad for the other person. It's always good people that seem to have the worst things happen. Lifes too short to take each day for granted. My cousins wife passed away duel to a Pylmonary Emvolis, mimics signs of a heart attack. Sunday they had lunch by 3.30 am or their abouts she passed away. She wasn't young but still hurts. My cousin is lost and the dogs are pining for her. They know no better. Make the most of it you only get one chance. I don't believe in reincarnation and am sceptical of secular teachings of any faith. Being a lapsed Catholic doesn't help. Take care, thing of you during this time. As is everyone too.
