November 3, 2009

We are sad to report the death of Gene's niece, Joyce .  She was the oldest daughter of Gene's oldest sister,  Muriel Joy.  The funeral service will be held in Somerset, Kentucky tomorrow.  Gene's cousin Mia had thought about driving up tonight and Mom was planning to go with her if she was able to go, but that didn't work.  Unfortunately I'm not feeling well enough to make that trip so Gene's family will only be there in spirit.  We will all be thinking of the family tomorrow.

Emily continues to slog through all the business that needs to be done regarding Gene's death.  Today she received a couple of communications regarding insurances and his military retirement benefits.  It's pretty hard for her to have something like this nearly every day.  But she is doing awfully well. 

She is beginning to make plans to have Thanksgiving with Steve's family this year in their Florida place.  I don't think all the details are worked out yet, but it should be a different kind of occasion this year. Now that
she has a good dependable car, she could decide to drive down to Atlanta and go with Steve and Pat from there.  That might work really well, or maybe it will be another plan.
