Hi Friends
and Family:
I just dropped my mom off at the airport to fly home to Edmonton. It was great to have her here for the last week annd I will miss her. My neice, Kristen, flew back on Tuesday ( thanks for coming!) and Donna will be with us until next Wednesday. Then I will see if I'm really up to this single parenting.
Jeff's visitation and funeral were very well attended. The funeral service was wonderful, honoring of Jeff and of the Lord. Joe and Shirley Duray flew down from Alaska and Joe gave the main message/eulogy. People commented on the great job you did Joe and it meant a lot to have you both there. Our pastor, Jim Winter, also did a great job reading some of Jeff's favorite scriptures and making comments. Thanks also to the various family members that wrote great letters about Jeff for the pastor to read. Thanks also to Russ, Sandy, Karen, and Penny for their roles.
My mom and neice were so happy to see how many wonderful friends we have that have been and continue to be so supportive of us. We are blessed in that way.
Of course we are grieving even though we are happy that Jeff''s suffering is over and he is with the Lord he loves so much. Each of the kids is handling it differently. We would appreciate your continued prayers as we work through the grief and as I adjust to being a single parent.
There are many other friends and family to thank and I will be doing that through notes in the next while.
By the way, we should be fine finiancially but there are many decisions and paper work to deal with and I need wisdom in making good decisions.
Love you all,
Nancy
