Until We Meet Again

On Thursday morning, my dad called to tell me that my uncle had passed away. He had been struggling with leukemia and his funeral is today. Eighty still seems too young.

Wenzle is my dad's oldest brother, a kind man with an easy smile. He and Aunt Millie returned to Utah a few years ago from Connecticut and have been living near the ranch. Such a good man. We'll miss you!


(There were a few typos in the online obituary that I corrected in the version below.)

Wenzle D. Morrill 1929 ~ 2009 Wenzle D. Morrill, age 80, passed away November 5th, 2009 at the Dixie Regional Medical Center.
