It is with heavy heart that I compose this post today dear readers.
My uncle, my mother's 58 year old younger brother, passed away last night after a brief but devastating illness that claimed his life. This current tragedy has added another gaping hole in the fabric of my family already pockmarked with the losses of both my maternal grandparents, my father and step-father.
I'm sitting here, staring at my computer screen, fingertips perched on keys, wondering what more I can say. Truly, I'm at a loss for words and need some time to process this event.
Give your loved ones a hug for me and cherish every moment.

Oh...so sorry, Regina to hear about your uncle. People often say that time heals everything, but that's only partially true. Time never heals how much you'll miss him. Sorry...my sympathies to you and your family.
Thinking of you, LL.
Oh, Regina. I'm so, so sorry. My 50-year-old uncle died last year after a similarly short and brutal illness, and I know what it's like to sit dumbstruck in the face of such a tragic loss. After your other recent losses, well, I can imagine your pain. Thinking of you and your family...
I am very sorry for your loss. I send you warm thoughts and wish you and your family peace.
Sorry to hear about you and your family's loss :(
I am sorry for your loss. My uncle, in his early 50's had a heart attack, but had bypass surgery and was doing well, a month later, he dies of lung cancer. The kicker is that he was a football coach and was NOT a smoker.
Some things are not explainable. I wish you and your family strenght and peace through this.
I am saddened to hear your uncle passed, Regina. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.
My condolences, truly. I hope that you and your family can some peace in his remembrance.

Regina, I'm sad to hear of your loss. It's never an easy time loosing someone so near. But if its just a little comforting to know you have friends thinking of you, then know you have many who are, me among them.

Dear Regina,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It sounds like things have not been easy for you as of late. Know that many people are keeping you in their thoughts, and you are fortunate to have a wonderful husband and daughter that you can lean on in this time of sadness. Hang in there.
Sally
I'm so sorry, Lady L.
Hi Regina. Your loss is felt by all. Life continues and in my opinion people never leave. We are made of the stuff stars are made. He is looking at you Babe from one of those stars in the Heavens above.
Cariños and love
