Received this freep mail from MamaB late yesterday and today she asked me to convey the contents to all on the dose. So rather than try to paraphrase is I will simply copy it.

""I just wanted to let you know that my brother called and told me that my brother in law died this afternoon. Zach had polio as a child and had post polio syndrome. His doctors did not expect him to live past his 30's but he was about 70. They had 3 children but a son died about a year before Jan did. I think there are 6 grandchildren so this will be hard on them especially the ones whose dad died.

My brother said for us to stay home that we had dealt with enough during these past few months but we will wait and see. He only had one sister and she lives in St. Louis, MO. All of my relatives live there or in nearby towns. I doubt if Lynn and I will go to the funeral. As I told her, I do not think I could handle another one right now."

In case you are wondering she confirmed today that he was her younger sister's husband. The poor women and her extended family have had so much sorrow recently special prayers for her and her family tonight.

Absolutely snugs, praying for MamaB and her family.

About 15 years ago, Mr.FF lost 9 family members over the course of only 3 years (which included both his parents). Both sides of his family were getting very depressed and exhausted. It takes quite a toll.

Prayers for MamaB.
