Oh, Dotsie: I am so sorry to hear about that. Five from the generation before us passed away last year. Their circle is getting smaller and smaller as the years go by. Likewise, we feel for those of their set who are left behind and cannot imagine what they must go through when one dies. My aunt's husband passed away in April and she still has to be told. Her bout with alzheimer's is kind in that it somehow helps the situation. I don't know by what depth however. My aunt is the "last of the mohicans" out of 10 children on my father's side. How old is your Dad? He is lucky to have children within arm's reach so to speak. I hope all is well with him considering last week.
