Dear Friends

Farewell

He’s gone.  I’m flying out to Louisville for the funeral Thursday.
 
Sigh.  Such a cheerful, unique personality.
 
As a friend put it, cancer bites.
 
God bless you little Joe!  You are already missed.

    Gill,
     
    I am very glad that you are going for the funeral.  I feel like even though I didn\’t know him, I should go too.  It never seems right when a part of our little community is lost.  I\’ll be thinking of you.  You are right — this is happening too often for my taste too. 
     
    Have a safe trip.  Tell Amy we are thinking of them all.

    Hey Gillian – I was on Kenny\’s site and saw your link – I was sad to hear or read I guess, that you have lost someone to cancer.  It does suck.  I will say a prayer although I\’m not a religious person, I do beleive in prayer.  I too have had cancer hit my life, too much!  Along with Heart disease, Lupus and sudden tragedies.   Rough rides.
    I hope there is a reason for it all!!! Although I\’m still struggling with that.  I love your site, I don\’t have time to read it all, but I will stop in again, if that is ok?  I just joined the blog world this year.  Great place.  Take care of yourself.  L

    Gill,
     
    I hope you are doing well.  How are things?  I hope that Thursday was beautiful and that you got to see a lot of people.  K said she went, but I think maybe that was just to the viewing. 
     
    Just wanted you to know I am thinking about you.
