:USA1: Just need to vent - I just lost my last uncle. My Dad pasted a few years ago and my other uncles before that - my Dad and other uncles all die of heart attacks (The Georg curse) MY Uncle Jack was the oldest brother and had to barry all his younger siblings and then the cancer came - he gave it a good fight but ended up losing the battle the other day. RIP below is his obit - My cousin is going to run a marathon in his memory to raise money for cancer research - If anyone want to donate to a good cause the link is attached below. Again Cancer SUCKS
