How sad.

I didn't make it to a cousin's funeral right before Christmas because I was preparing to travel to see Grandma. I felt guilty then. I feel guilty now.

Looks like those men had a big family after all.

Having paid for and being the only claimant of a deceased, there are often reasons for that. I do not know the stories. I am glad that someone got peace through this. But there are always two sides.
