Wednesday, Dec 9,

Just a brief note.

Came home from church services Sunday to be met by crying wife.  One of her cousins' husband had been found dead in his bed that morning.  COVOD, apparently.  He had been  to ER at local hospital (TMH) the night before, they'd sent him home.  Four hours later, he was dead.

Much sorrow in family, of course.

He's already been cremated, with some sort of service to be at a later time.  They are, I believe, LDS, so that may be "interesting".  Two months ago, I had to listen to a "streaming" service for one of Wife's uncles, who died similarly, in South Carolina.  They were JW's, so that too was "interesting".   

Then, yesterday, Wife got word that her cousin whose husband had just died has also been diagnosed with COVID.  

So things are in disarray.

Sorry.
