October 25, 2009

Russ, Steve and Pat, and Emily all went to church this morning.  Afterwards they stopped to get some flowers and then went to the cemetery where they were met by Alan and Lynn and just a little bit later by Joyce.

Gene's headstone has been placed and it was the first time any of the family had seen it.  It was a very moving experience for everyone.  The gravesite is just absolutely beautiful and is very befitting Gene.  There was a older gentleman there at the cemetery at his wife's grave.  Both Alan and Emily went over and spoke to him.  He was having such a difficult time.  He said that he didn't know what he would do without his wife. I think all of us know how he feels.

Russ is staying on for another day or so, Steve and Pat headed back to Atlanta for some church obligations they have. Joyce was only down for the afternoon and was welcome company.  They have gotten lots accomplished during the time they've been here to help Mom take care of things that needed to get done. It has been a good visit.
