Greta

I learned via phone message from my sister, Linda, that our cousin Greta had passed away yesterday. Linda’s message indicated that Greta was in heart surgery and died in the process.

It had been years since I had seen Greta and her three sisters, Doris, Wanda who passed away a few years ago, and the youngest of the quartet, Cindy. They grew up in Texas, we in Kansas. It was a rare occasion that we ever got together so I feel I really missed out on getting to know them and their families. I regret that. I understand that Greta has a couple of children, probably all grown up but I wouldn’t know them if I saw them. That too is regrettable.

I called Linda a little while ago, she said that Greta had a heart condition and the odds of her coming out of the surgery were slim.

I believe our family is a little poorer for her passing and Heaven is a little richer.
