Talked to Uncle Wallace

Uncle Wallace's youngest son, Raymond, died last night about 1 a.m.He was 47. I just phoned Uncle Wallace this evening about him. He was over 400 pounds and diabetic, as well. He was staying with his sister, Patsy, because he hadn't been feeling well and was nervous about being alone. She got a hospital bed for his use. Yesterday sometime, he fell out of bed and they couldn't get him up so called the ambulance to take him to the hospital but Uncle Wallace thinks he died before they got him into the ambulance because the attendants couldn't revive him.
This is also the day Aunt Leona died. It's about 7 months since Sandra was killed so it's been really hard on Uncle Wallace.
How did he ever get to 400 pounds? I think every one of his children is overweight. He has a weight problem, too, and knee and hip problems. His oldest daughter should have hip replacement surgery but is too heavy. Sad for all of them.
I sent an e-mail to Gloria's Jennifer this morning but there's no reply tonight.
Aunt Evelyn said Gloria and Barry were down south during the winter and came to spend three or four days with Carolyn and Richard at the home they have in Georgia.
Stay healthy, all of you. Dad seems to be the only healthy one among his siblings.
I have to get to the library yet tonight. The museum has a hamburger sale tomorrow and then we only have the pancake breakfast to do for our opening July 9th.
