I went to IN to visit my father, family and do genealogy. Daddy has been failing lately and all my brothers and sisters were there all at once. Daddy seemed to think it was time to let go and he just quietly went to sleep and did not wake again. We are thankful for that knowing he did not suffer. When an unexpected death in ones family happens it is so tramatic. I will pray for your family in this hour as others have sent their prayers to me in my hour of grief. I don't think you need to appologize to anyone for anything as life is full of unexpected happenings be they happy ones or sad ones. It is what life is made of. We all roll with the punches and end up on our feet. I do like your following statement and will suggest the same thing for our reunion for next year. It is always the second Sun in July. This yr. daddy missed it by a wk. We used the day for rememberances and stories of our father and our cousins Uncle Earl. <So in mid-July we will commune with one another once again and comemorate our members who have passed from us on this earth. It is the circle of life.> May the Great Spirit guide your path in life and help those that walk the Spirit Trail to the here after. Billie Jean Reese (Beej)
