October 2, 20009

Yesterday and today most of the family made their way back to the places they call home and today has been a decompression kind of day. Emily has been writing her thoughts, visiting, and doing a bit of cooking.  She seems to be doing alright - as alright as anyone can be after losing a life partner.  She is still regretful that she was not at Gene's side when he died.   

Jessie Lee and Forest and Greg will leave tomorrow.  Russ will come back to Chattanooga after taking Greg to the airport and stay until Monday at Emily's.  Elizabeth and Elijah are coming back from Atlanta, after seeing Josh off to home, to spend a bit of time with Emily.  They had been intending a visit and actually already had tickets for that visit.  They pushed their arrival time forward to get here for Gene's funeral, but will stay here until their originally planned departure.

It will be so helpful to Emily to have someone there who can help her give attention to the end details - the thank you notes, and getting some of the things together that Emily wants to set aside as special mementos. She will also just love having some time to spend with Elijah.

Prayer Request
Please pray for Emily to have peace and comfort.
