Today was a sad day, for Uncle Bud passed away from cancer. He had surgery over the holidays (2007) for a lesion on his brain, but apparently they didn’t get all of the cancer, because it came back. He was a smoker, so the cancer just got the best of him.
He was cremated, so therefore there was no visitation or service, apparently.
One thing that has impressed the heck outta me about my Uncle Bud — he insisted that instead of sending flowers for his funeral, that we all donate the money to the care of Rhea Cemetery, where his parents (my grandparents, Papa Case and Granny) are buried. I thought that was a WONDERFUL idea, and something I’m also going to put in my will. I think. I want flowers, though.
