Just found out..

[Farmer Kitty]

my Great Uncle died yesterday. He was married to my paternal Grandpa's sister and is her second husband. She out lived them both. I didn't know this one very well and won't be going to the visitation or funeral as it's a couple hours away.

Kitty, I'm so sorry. Sometimes it seems like losing members of the older generation is harder.

DH has a very large extended family on both sides and lost two great aunts and three great uncles (between the two sides) in about a year and a half, and I was struck by the feeling that the losses would start the fracture between the second cousins...

Thank you.

5 years ago this spring we lost DH's mother. That year there were 3 or 4 in her family that passed. Her youngest living sister was having a hard time watching them all pass.
