Sad News
Sunday I had to drive my wife to the airport so that she could go and see her mom. We had received a call from the hospital in Seattle that she had taken a turn for the worst and would not make it more than a few days. Bonnie died last night.
Although they were never really close, I could hear sorrow in my wifes voice when she called to tell me. Both her parents and her sister are now gone. Nan is feeling that aloneness. I will be going out on the 8th for 10 days to be with her and so we can put things in order.
Please pray for her comfort and for safety in our travels.

My sincere sympathy to you and to Nan - I too have a loss - Vinny passed away 12/12/07. If it were not for you and Nan we never would have made it to 18 years and 2 months. I wish I had been able to be closer to Nan when you lived here - but my duties called me to be close to home. You both are very missed. Please give her one of your unusual hugs and a kiss for me - Love, Sandy
