Death in the family by schwing1 2004-01-15 23:23:54
I just found my favorite uncle died of a massive heart attack this morning. Not only was he my uncle, he was my God-Father. I feel so bad for my aunt as almost exactly 1 year ago my grandmother died and she is just finalizing the estate and now she has to deal with this. He just retired 2 years ago and I do not believe that they had life insurance. They just bought a lake front cabin for their retirement home.
My father called me to tell me while he was out of town on a business trip and the airlines wouldn’t help him out with a ticket to get home to be with my mom. They told him that if he wanted a trip home he would need to buy a new one-way ticket and lose the $ he spent on his round trip ticket. I think it was the first time I have ever heard my father cry. They were the best of friends.

On a better note, I can say he came out to visit me two weeks ago in Vegas and had a blast. I guess I will have to go to his favorite slot machine and drop a few bucks in his memory. My grandma loved to go to the casino and I guess now she has a partner up there. God bless them and may they enjoy the afterlife.
