I remember that when my uncle was found dead in his apartment, my mother and her brother's family (as well as a kind neighbor who lived right next to my uncle's) were really affected by realizing that tomorrow is not guaranteed (being 17, so I didn't feel that quite as much...). How is this affecting you? How are doing with it?

I'm so glad to hear that he found Jesus -- that is wonderful.
