Saying goodbye



in the past two and half week the Munns family has been to heaven (Utah) and back. We left on Thursday September 10th with our very good friend Marianne. We drove the bell vehicles back to Utah for them so that they could spend their time in the RV with Shari. It was a great drive, the weather was good, the kids were good and having a great friend made it easier. We decided at the last moment to take the whole family because we felt it would be a long trip and we didn't want to leave anyone behind. We drove the 1700 miles in 13.5 hours the first day and then the rest on Friday. Marianne and Cabot opened their home for us and we stayed with them till Sunday. During that time we were able to visit with Shari one last time, I have written about it in my journal. That night she went into a sleep and was never able to really communicate with anyone again, so I was happy that we got our goodbyes, kisses and hugs. She passed away on Sheldon's and mine anniversary, hard to take at first but it will be someone I will not forget. We stayed till after her funeral on September 22, we did stand by at the airport and all went well. It was hard to leave our family and our close friends but because we are going back in December it makes it alittle easier. The picture above is one Marianne took, because we were unable to go to the grave site. What a brave and loving family they are.... I also included a picture the family gave me before they left, for memories. It isn't the best copy from our printer but it shows how happy they were.
