I was just there, in Redding, this last October for my grandmothers funeral. Uncle Mike was busy helping my Aunt with the funeral and herself (my Aunt has terminal cancer). Uncle Mike seemed to be doing well other than he felt like he was getting a cold.

While on the roof after Christmas to remove the lights he tweaked his back and was taken to the emergency room. The hospital, while in the process of glueing a bone in his back, found something they wanted to look a little closer at. After a biopsy they concluded that my uncle Mike had terminal cancer and gave him six months. Four weeks later he passed away.

It was so unexpected. In both cases (the passing of my Grandmother and my Uncle Mike) cousins I have not seen in years came to pay their respects.

I was able to fly out with my Mom, two sisters, and Madison. Although it was a sad occassion that brought us all together I would'nt trade the experiences that came with it.

RIP Uncle Mike.

He was a wonderful person. Very caring and kind.
