Another "treasure"; Uncle Paul

One of the places my sisters and I went to on Saturday was the Goodwill Thrift Store.  Mary Ellen had told me ahead of time she wants to go to the Goodwill store where I find all my treasures.  I warned her that there are many times that I make a quick round through the store and find nothing.  

I don't know if either of my sisters found any treasures, but I spied a vase.  As soon as I saw it I knew exactly where it belonged - at the corner of my tub.  The colors on the vase are those in the picture hanging above the tub.

Remember when my sisters and I sang for our uncle Paul Myers a couple of months ago?   He had been recently diagnosed with cancer at that point.  This past weekend he passed away.  I will be going to his funeral in Lancaster tomorrow.  

Here's a good picture of Uncle Paul (red tie) and some of his family a few years ago.  His wife is in the pink sweater.

Here he is (dark blue shirt) with three of his siblings this past September. 

 

These are my mother's brothers and sister.  There were ten sibings.  Now only three are on this earth.  Even though my mom went to Heaven almost thirty years ago, her brothers and sisters have always loved and cared about and been interested in us and our families, especially Uncle Paul.  I'm so glad I could rearrange my schedule to be able to go tomorrow.  He has a sweet wife Polly, three sons, two daughters, seven grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.  My heart aches for them all.
