[19:20] <valorie> nothing to do with kubuntu, but my brother-in-law died of covid yesterday
[19:20] <valorie> I might be scarce here a bit
[19:22] <IrcsomeBot> <Sick_Rimmit> Oh, so sorry to here that. {{{{{Hug}}}}} lovely Valorie, if there is anything I can do please reach out.
[19:22] <valorie> thank you Rik
[19:22] <valorie> I may tackle the obituary today if his children are not doing that yet
[19:28] <RikMills> valorie: sorry to hear that. condolences to all
[19:28] <valorie> thank you Rik 
[19:28] <valorie> and oops on Rick
[19:29] <IrcsomeBot> <Sick_Rimmit> No worries
[21:42] <mparillo> {{{Hugs}}} If it is not painful, was he elderly? Pre-existing conditions? Group living?
[21:46] <valorie> he's the same age as me
[21:46] <valorie> errr, was
[21:46] <valorie> lots of pre-existing conditions
[21:47] <valorie> he and my sister had gone to Montana for a family funeral
[21:47] <valorie> unless I miss my guess, all were unvaxxed
[21:47] <valorie> and now all are infected
[21:47] <valorie> 6 hospitalized, although my sister is coming home today
[21:48] <valorie> not sure about the pain; he was intubated and had two heart attacks -- they brought him back from the first, but could not from the second
[21:48] <valorie> that sounds painful to me
[21:49] <valorie> since their daughter's death by suicide 13 years ago, he's wanted to be with her and not here, so I guess he got his wish
[21:51] <valorie> it does hurt because we've been friends since high school
[21:51] <valorie> before my sis had even met him
[21:51] <valorie> :(
[22:44] <mparillo> ugh {{{hugs}}}
[23:09] <valorie> yes, it's just awful
[23:10] <valorie> I hope my sister can weather this
