Thank you, everyone, for the condolences. It’s still pretty surreal. I’m one of five, 59 years old. My brother died 4 years ago at 61 of a heart attack, my sister died at 64. I’m down to my last 2 siblings.

My sister who died was an identical twin. I can’t imagine what her twin is feeling. Apparently when the remaining twin got there, my other sister’s granddaughter climbed up in her lap and said, “Hi, Grandma!”

I remember when this thread was started, and how it was such a strange time. Condolences to you and your family.
