A Sad Day

Well, first and foremost I would like to apologize for ending the updates last September however the chemo was starting to make me lose my mind and it seemed best to pull the strings until my head was back on straight. After my last treatment, the last thing I wanted to do is revisit the earlier part of the year and to date it is something from which I am trying to distance myself. That does not mean I do not continually think of the love and support from my family and friends as well as try to figure a way to repay everybody's effort. But updating the last year, as good as it has been, is not the reason for today's post. I will do that in the near future.

This morning at about 5:00 am Mom died. She had had a long journey trying and fighting for her health, but after winning may battles...well I am sure the situation is clear without saying any more. Dad is doing his best to keep things going but has a bit of a road ahead.

If you are able to attend, we will be having a viewing on Friday from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Reynolds-Jonkohoff, a service at St. Andrews Presbeterian Church on Saturday at 1:00 pm followed by a brief gathering at the church, and her burial cerimony at Rose Hill Cemetary after the conclusion of the church activities at roughly 4:00 pm.

Thank you for all of your love and support during these difficult times.

Mark
