Death in the Family

We just got word that our daughter-in-law's father died about an hour ago at the age of 81. He had a lot of illness these past 2 years and then was hit by a car in his wheel chair a few weeks back. It was all downhill from there when he was just having a good recovery from a stay in the local hospital. Last week my Aunt died at age 90, living a good life nearly up to the end and she was ready to go. Then the week before that our son-in-law's mother died at age 90 of alzheimers. That is a terrible disease and she is at rest now. Yesterday we found out a good friend was given a week to live with cancer. Such a sad thing for her family of many children and her husband. I would guess her to be about 70. Death seems to come in three's or at least we imagine that everything seems to come in three's. Does it seem that way to you?
