If You're Like Me.....

To those of you who hadn't heard, either---- guess I'm essentially talking to Becky and Wendy these days :)---I just wanted to make a brief note about the passing of Gene's father. I found out through an email from Mom, saying: "Saturday night Gene's dad was taken off the ventilator. Pneumonia was rampant, and it was resistant to antibiotic. Last night he went to be with the Lord. The funeral will be Wednesday afternoon at 2 pm." Such a season of loss! I suppose, though, if I had to go it might be nice to make it through those gates just as the Christmas celebration is really kicking off! Our loved ones are probably all feeling sorry for us because we're still stuck down here listening to "I Wanna Hippopatamus" and "Santa Baby", while they have front row seats to a 24/7 concert performance by the band that invented music!!!! MODLIN FAMILY, OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO WITH YOU!
