Uncle Don passed away early this morning. He fell going to the barber shop last week, fractured his pelvis. He has not been very well, weighed only 100 pounds. He has been unresponsive for most of the last week, no eating, couldn't swallow because his head was way back to help his breathing, as good as no talking, some eye movement. Monday the doctor said to call the family because Friday (when sonDr. Don planned to came) might be too late. The doc called it right. Don was on comfort care since Monday. All the ckildren were here, said their goodbyes, and will come back for the memorial which will be in a couple weeks.

Bev, will you let the rest of the family know? Thanks.
