GREMLINS RUN AMOK

The gremlins ran amok in this column last week on the obituary of my sister Elizabeth (Betty). She is survived by five sons and two daughters, apart from all the other relevant survivors. She is survived by five sons, but one was missing from the obituary last week and that was Declan, to whom I apologize sincerely.
