Margie’s Uncle Bertel, her dad’s brother, passed away last night.
UPDATE: Some confusion about whether it’s “Bertil” or “Bertel.” According to my genealogy data, I think it’s with an “e.” According to this page (whence the picture), he went about socially as “Bert,” which was probably a good idea.

My condolences on your loss, Margie, and I hope you guys are doing okay.
Give her my sympathies. Hard to lose thems we love in the holiday season.
Yeah. Dunno if it’s least bad to spread the losses out or have them all hit in a cluster. 😛
As Margie put it — “I think this is going to be a lot of family-together-time this Christmas.”
I’m so sorry, you guys.
For the genealogical record, the final verdict is “-el”.
