It’s been a rough nine months, starting last fall when our grandson was killed in a work accident leaving a grieving wife and five children. He was thirty. ~ Ken Waddell
It was followed in April by the death of a good friend in a the town where I had lived when my late husband died. After a battle with cancer, he left a grieving wife and two children as well as a hole in the community. He was fifty. ~ Barry Brady
Then in June we lost our son-in-law, Eric Munson, to cancer. He left behind a grieving wife, five children, and an extended family and devastated community. ~ Eric Munson
This past week I’ve seen the loss of three more friends. Susan Patton, Deb Kendall, and Becky Werner. Suz was a motorcycling friend, Deb was an RVing friend, and Becky (age 36) was the daughter of long-time friends. Suz and Deb both fought cancer and Becky spent months of pain fighting necrotizing fasciitis.

We always think we have plenty of time…but we never know. So take time now to tell your loved ones how much you care. Call, email, snail mail, make plans – just do it. Please!

Indeed . . . . My wife and I were at a funeral only two days ago of the son of very good friends of ours. He was only 42
Life is a fickle and fragile thing.
Yes it is, Rob. Makes no sense at times…
That’s a lot of loss in a short period of time, but your tribute and reminder is meaningful for all of us. God bless.
Thanks, Donna. It seems overwhelming at times but life does go on.
lost a grand niece this spring just 23. You guys have had a rough year..I have said for years the worst part of getting older is loosing the ones you love. Your right tell them soon, tell them often how much you love them
So sorry, Sandy. It just isn’t easy when they are so young…
