jeff & jam fam

Jeff and Lila are at Uncle Bill's house in Cupertino CA. They are fixing things (drippy faucets, taking up old carpet...), and retrieving precious family possessions and papers because, most likely, the house will soon be up for sale. It's a great house that has served their family well. Aunt Joann passed away in April 2010. Uncle Bill, a survivor of 5 cancers, is not doing well. It's not exactly cancer that began roughing him up after Joann's passing, but a decades old leg injury...and it's taking its toll. Unfortunately the esophagal cancer has reappeared and is destroying him. I HATE cancer!!!! Dear Uncle Bill is living with Cousin Susan (Billy & Joann's first born) and her family in SanDiego. Tomorrow they are going to Susan's to "hand off the good stuff", at which point they'll get to visit with Uncle Bill. He was chipper and up and about last April. I'm afraid the Uncle Bill they see tomorrow will look/be much different.
