My Great Uncle died....

My great uncle died today. He was living in a retirement center, and had really really bad altimers(sp?) He was my moms uncle. and the thing is I didnt even know him, or get to meet him :(:(because he wouldnt know me or anything because of his altimers.
I feel bad for my mom because it was her uncle. :( :(
I wish I could have met him

Im so sorry to hear about your loss :(

I feal the same way. I never got to meet my Great Grandma(My moms grandma). She lived in Scotland. I wish I could have met her. She died of a stroke but she also had a bug tumor in her cheek. She died this year at the age of 97.

So sorry for your loss.:( Give your mom a hug for me.

Thanks everyone..I really appreciate it :(

Give your mom a hug from all of us, then, when things are quiet, ask her what he was like when she was your age. Ask the same thing of anyone you meet at the wake - that way you will get to know him - the best of him.

That's very sad Amber. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

So sorry Amber :(


{{{Many hugs to you and your family}}}

I am so sorry to hear about your great uncle.

{Hugs to you, and the rest of your family}

I like Karen's idea also.

Thankyou everyone, It means alot :)

I'm sorry to hear of your loss Amber.
Your mom and your family will be in my thoughts.

My condolences to you and your family.

I am so sorry Amber *hugs* My grandmother and aunt have alzheimers and it is terrible. :(

I'm so sorry to hear this Amber:( Your great uncle sounds like he was a very special man. And you know, although you never met him, he is still a part of you. As Karen has said, learn as much as you can about him and hold him in your heart. And whenever you get the chance, let everyone else know how very special he was. I hope now he is at peace. Love and hugs and my heartfelt condolences to you and your family, Amber. Love, Sandra

Thanks, sorry about your grandparents primabella

I'm so sorry to hear this, Amber. I'll be thinking of you and your family tonite. I really liked Karen's idea. That would be a real nice thing to do.
