Being funny when I feel like this requires more discipline than I possess, so my apologies in advance. Consider this a somber blog.

A not good thing happened early this morning; a relative died. While we were not very close, they were a real class act and cornered the market on kindness. They were the kind of person that makes the world a better place and shall be missed by many people, including myself.

One thing I remember about them, was that they were a soft touch when it came to my parent’s foxhound.

Mom: Lois, did you give your breakfast to the dog again?
Lois: Just the corners. She looked so little and hungry.
Mom: But we had pancakes.

Godspeed Lois Bradley. May you find the eternal peace and comfort you so richly deserve.
