This has been a bad several days for me.    Several days ago I get news that a cousin of my father had passed away(we will call cousin A).   Although my father and his two cousins were close when they were kids and adults years ago, in recent years they haven't seen much of each other(will call the other cousin, cousin B).    My mom and Dad tried to get in contact with the cousin B to let her know about the passing away of cousin A.  They were unable to get in touch with her.  Then this mass shooting happens.   At the cemetery where cousin A was laid to rest, there is a large area where multiple family member of mine are buried, including my Grandmother and my Great-grandmother, and my parents are probably going to be buried there when the time comes.   Cousin's B husband is also buried there.   While we were there for the funeral, we noticed some signs of  a somewhat recent burial next to Cousin B's husband, exactly where you'd expect Cousin B to be buried.   A relative of ours contacted the people that run the cemetery,  its turns out that Cousin B died about year ago.   Cousin's B's sons didn't even let us know.   My father would have wanted to be there for the funeral, and Cousin B would have wanted him there.   He should not have had to find out that Cousin B was dead by noticing a fresh looking grave.  In addition, the sons have yet to put a grave marker on the grave. 

Found out 2 relatives of ours died, and had to watch coverage of nutcase murdering 20 kids about the age of my niece, just a week before Christmas.  This has not been fun.
