Don's uncle Doug passed away peacefully yesterday evening. Helen is doing well. She'll have a memorial get together, like we had for Uncle Emery, later when the weather is better.That does it for the McCutcheon clan. My mother, the oldest, her two sisters, and now her last of three brothers. My father was the last of the Wood clan. His six brothers passed away before he did. Now we're down to the remaining next generation. Time passes, things change.
