Uncle Jimmy

I just found out my Uncle Jimmy died last night. He was actually my Dh's Uncle, but I loved him as if he were mine. Jimmy was a priest, until he met Aunt JoAnn who was a nun. They were married for 43 years, and were unable to have children so they doted on all the nieces and nephews, and our children. Jimmy and JoAnn came to almost every wedding and funeral, though it was a six hour drive from their home.

Jimmy suffered the last few years from Parkinson's disease, but the last time I saw him was August at a niece's wedding, and he looked good. He was going up the stairs and fell backward, hitting his head on concrete. He seemed to be doing well after surgery, but the bleeding continued and life support was removed per his wishes. He was a good man, and I know he is with his Maker now.
