Thank you

So many people have comforted us this past week. We've received cards, emails, notes, prayers, a lot of food (it kept coming all week) and love. We are grateful.

The memorial service was very nice. The military honors were very touching. We played on of John's favorite songs, "Blue Sky" by the Allman Brothers Band. The church has been very gracious and Father Denny celebrated a beautiful mass. He was so good to John, visiting him wherever he was...nursing home, hospital, Greer House. The church members always provided John with fresh flowers over the past several years. Trinity Episcopal Church has been a blessing to John.

It was especially nice to have our cousin Diane and her son, Shawn, travel from Phoenix to be with us. Their mom, our Aunt Rose, is very special to us. Her health is not great, so they were anxious to come here to honor John. Thank you.

Today was very quiet, which was good. The first quiet day since last week. I can't even believe John has been gone a week already. He is so very missed.

Should I be angry that Steve Jobs received a new liver? I just read about it this morning. He has a form of pancreatic cancer and I read that it had metastasized to his liver. That should have ruled him out for a new liver. I can't help but feel a little angry that he was able to circumvent protocol to get a transplant. I know it's not right to feel this way, but I do.

I am starting to make plans to return to Florida. There are things to do here before I go. It will probably be sometime after the 4th. I don't know what my plans are after that.

I hope all the dads out there had a nice Father's Day.
