They held the funeral today for my cousin back in Michigan. My wife and I would have liked to have attended, but with all that's going on, we just couldn't make it. Our youngest son lives in Michigan and so he represented our side of the family at the funeral (my Mother's sister was my cousin's maternal grandmother). They live-streamed the funeral on Facebook so we 'attended' it vicariously. It was a large affair as he was one of 10 children and a local business owner.

And on Monday, we have to do this all over again. Three days after Tommy, my cousin, died, his paternal grandmother passed away. She was 103 years old and they'll be holding her funeral on Monday morning and it will again be live-steamed on Facebook.

Watching this funeral felt a bit weird since this will be the same church from which my wife and I will eventually be buried as it's our hometown parish.

We just got word that one of my cousins in Northern Michigan has passed away after contracting COVID. This is the first close family member that we've lost to the pandemic.

He was only 47 years old (he was my second cousin) and in good health, but he was a hard core anti-mask, anti-vaxer. Most all of his siblings (he was one of 10) had gotten sick but they all recovered with no apparent long term problems so when he started to feel the symptoms he didn't go to the doctor assuming that he would get past it as well. However, after almost two weeks of not getting any better, he finally went to his doctor who immediately sent him to the hospital, but his condition continued to get worse and he was eventually transferred to another hospital with a better equipped COVID ward. That was almost three weeks ago, but his condition continued to deteriorate. A couple of days ago, his organs started to fail and it was just a matter of time.
