Online journal entry from 12/10/01:



Cher called this morning with bad news about her uncle passing. I spent nearly every holiday and vacation with her family over the last several years so this is also sad news for me. I'm sorry I'll never see him again and hope that auntie will be able to adjust to life without him.
