David's Tio Oscar died last Monday night after his first couple of weeks of chemotherapy for colon cancer. Oscar was his mom's youngest brother and her only sibling in town. David worked on the eulogy for him all week and the funeral, complete with mariachi, was yesterday in Garland. Carmen wrote this in Lety's journal during the service and Lety scanned and sent it today (thanks, Aunt Lety!).
