"On some sad news, my sister (Marilyn) passed away March 4th from her long battle with breast cancer. She suffered terribly the last couple of weeks, so it was a relief to have her taken, but the loss is still tangible. Her husband Duck is doing ok and is keeping busy. He was just over to borrow some tools to work with in his garden across the street."
