My Uncle

My Uncle George (my mom's brother) passed away yesterday. His death was very shocking and unexpected. He had been in the hospital with some issues associated with his colon. He had minor surgery and was on the way to recovery. Everyone that he was in good shape, especially since he was released from the hospital on Wednesday. When he got home though he started having difficulties breathing and he was rushed back to the hospital. Upon his arrival he was put on life support and died early the next morning. It turns out he had an infection (at the site of his surgery) which spread through his body rapidly and caused body to shut down. He was a great man and I have so many happy memories of and with him. He will truly be missed.
