Almost the next generation

On May 1st I attended my last uncle's funeral.  Uncle George was by far my favorite uncle.  I knew him the best of all my mother's siblings, he and his wife lived in North Dakota while they raised their family. They lived in Whapeton and Minot.  Uncle George worked for BNSF just before retirement they transferred him to Minneapolis.  He lived there until Aunt Cese passed away. He and Brian then moved to Breckenridge, MN.  He got to live in his new home for a little over a year before his sudden passing.  One thing about a sudden death is one can be thankful that he didn't have a long period of illness and suffering.  After the funeral my cousins and I had a wonderful visit. While visiting, we realized we are almost the next generation - we have one aunt left. Aunt LaVonne lives in California and of course isn't getting any younger.  The first part of this year she moved from Carson City, NV to California to be closer to her kids.

It's kind of a scary thought that we are almost the oldest ones in the family now. Must be time for a family reunion so our kids learn some of the family history.
