Well, we found out earlier this week that Euna Vay passed away. Cancer is a terrible disease. Travis was able to come home before she died and Amanda has been here for a week. I am sure it has been difficult for Lacey and Terry, but at least she isn't in pain anymore. What a fighter!
After eating lunch with Dad and Carolyn, we drove to Canal Winchester to visit with Mike and Sara, Dennis and Janice, and Elsie. Edna has gone back to the rehabilitation center and appears to have dementia. Sometimes she is lucid and sometimes she is in another time and place. The boys have grown so much and are full of energy. Mike is the spitting image of Jeremy. Except Jeremy has hair. Mike is slowly losing his. Darin had thoughtfully gotten directions from Canal to Circleville so we didn't have to go back around the highways. We just drove on 674 basically to CR 188 into town. It was about a twenty minute plus drive, but so easier than back tracking on the interstates to the funeral home.
Lots of horse clubbers, including Terri and Jack. Zane starts tutoring with her on Monday, and I need to verify the time again. Quite the steady turnout for Euna Vay. It was long calling hours for her, but it appears that everyone they knew came to pay their respects. It was neat to see her photo albums from different times in her life that I certainly didn't know about. She was a sharpshooter at OSU when she was in college. It appears that she could have been Olympic material, but got married instead. I don't think she would have changed a thing. She was quite the woman of the sixties too-long hair, skinny as a rail, and quite beautiful! Darin was really torn up about her loss. It is amazing how people surprise you sometimes.
What a sad month for two families . . . the holidays will be difficult for them.
I need to send Paul and Theresa's kids a sympathy card today!
