Mom wrote me today, as she's still in NJ helping my Aunt take care of loose ends -- going thru clothes I'm sure; but also tying up financial ends and going thru the Will I assume. Mom wrote to remind me today was Uncle Clarence's 76th birthday. His father only lived to be 28; but his mom (my grandma) lived to be 95 - so that was in his favor. Uncle Clarence felt he wouldn't live to see 70 but of course he did.....and just a few weeks ago he was saying he felt he'd live to 90. If only he had. So I raise my glass and toast his birthday today. LOVE YOU Uncle C. We miss the hell out of you....
