This past week was one filled with bereavement. On Tuesday we lost Ashley's Aunt Evy. She resided at Phoebe Home the last several years , and was not doing very well mentally. She did not always recognize his Mother, which was tough on her.
On Friday Ashley lost his sister to cancer. Annette was a young 67 years of age. She had a rare form of cancer which took the life of his sister Andrea several years ago. Annette leaves behind 2 sons and several step kids from Rommie's first marriage. Infact Todd told us this evening that Rommie has not accepted it yet and was cleaning the house all day. This will be tough on him as they were soul mates.
We are somewhat concerned for his Mom as losing both a sister and a daughter in the same week is very tough. Mom has been very quiet from what we hear.
What we must remember is that neither Annette or Aunt Evy would want us to mourn their death but to celebrate their life and to be happy.
Ashley is leaving on Sunday for Pa to attend 2 funerals, and returning on Saturday.
On a more positive note: Peace Valley Quilts is now the official person to sew on the letters and chenille on the letterjackets. I have picked up 8 this week. Completed 3 of them so far. Hopefully I can get the other 5 done this weekend.
