The number of death is 3. In my life experience and in my family & friends, death has always come in 3's.

And now My aunt Jean. March 7, 2008 10:30pm pacific time.

This picture was taken Jan 28, 2008 when the family got together for Howards memorial reunion. Aunt Jean. Cousins Gerry (standing), Butch (Howard after his dad), and Barbara Jean.
Aunt Jean was wife to Howard and sister to Margaret and my mother Patricia and Richard their brother. The first set of 3 to pass was My mother, my uncle Richard and his wife Genevieve. Now all of that generation has past on to their rest. It's a sobering thought when a generation passes. I still have my poppy 83 and two aunts(his sisters)ages 81&79. My brother is 62. My sister is 58 and I am 48. I wonder if we will all go in 3's too?
