  I visited with the family at the funeral home tonight. We were in a line going to the family of my dead uncle. Right behind me was the other Kenneth Patterson in our town.(Not related) My uncle's wife is his aunt. I didn't know that until tonight. I had never met my uncle's son's wife so he introduced me, this is Kenneth Patterson. Right behind me was the other Kenneth Patterson who she knew, she looked puzzled. She looked at him and I explained I was the other Kenneth Patterson. Kind of funny at the time.

  My Uncle was a really good person, almost everyone in town knew him because he had a business here for many years. He installed heating and air-conditioning systems as well as doing sheet metal work. He and his workers installed the one in my home. He was the richest one of my relatives.

  In line behind me a few places was a black JW lady that I had known for many years. My grandmother had studied with her husbands mother and grandmother when I was about 7 or 8 years old. Me and my brother would play with him in the yard while they conducted the study. We had one of the congregation book studies in their home about 45 years ago. I didn't know it but she had worked for my uncle for many years in his office. I hadn't seen her for 30 years. She is a really sweet, good lady. I didn't ask if she was still a JW. I enjoyed meeting several people I hadn't seen for many years. It's bad that it takes someone's death to bring people together sometimes, but we just live in different worlds I guess.

  Your uncle's wife is the "other Ken's" aunt........wait..........isn't your Uncle's wife also YOUR aunt? So that makes your uncle and aunt also the uncle/aunt of the "other Ken's" ....so that makes you and the "other Ken" cousins......or........perhaps.........you are the same person?? I'm so confused......
