Dear Connie,
 
I'm sorry for all the losses you've encountered this weekend.  It is very sad.
 
We received some bad news this weekend too.  Yesterday morning, while I was brushing my teeth, my cell rang.  DH answered it & gave it to me.  Around a mouthful of toothpaste, I mumbled "Hello?".  It was my 75-year-old Aunt Kas (my deceased stepdad's sister in California).  Their cousin May (who I was *very* close to as a child, and then became close with again after Alicia was born) had been found dead in her bathroom last Saturday (a week ago) by a parent of one of her music students (she taught violin & viola ~ it was May who helped nourish my own love for the viola).  It sounds like she'd been there a *minimum* of two days, but they don't know how long.  It sounds like a massive heart attack.  May was only in her 50s.  I am devastated.  She gave Alicia a viola last Christmas, and now I have a renewed effort to somehow get her music lessons after the first of the year.
 
My love & hugs go out to all of you,
Peggy
 
This has been one of the saddest weekends in my life.  First, my friend's
mom died on Fri. a.m.  Then, today I found out that the husband of another
dear friend has inoperable lung cancer and the prognosis is not good. He
starts chemo this week, but at the most, it will give him a few more months.
The worst of all though is that one of my best friend's nieces committed
suicide a few days ago and she was only 18.  She had battled depression on
and off and I guess that's what did it.  They don't think there were any
drugs involved.  When my children found out this morning at church, Kathy
was like "Why would she do that, mom?" Such a waste...
