Geez, RICKMO. I'm so sorry to hear that.
It must hurt, to have someone you love die.
I've actually never had such a thing happen to me. No one close to me has died before. My grandparents and parents had their children early. Heh, my grandma had my dad at age 22.
The only thing similar to this is my grandpa from my moms side who left the family and never returned. Haven't seen him in all my life. I guess you can call it 3/4.
