Ashley and Landon are now at the Wheeler estate? in south Lakeland. UPDATE Landon is now almost 3 years old and is a real delight ti Mary and I -we have a lot of fun with him.
3/5/09 It has been quite a few months since my last post. Mom passed away unexpectedly Dec.1. She was 82 years old. It was quite a shock.
On Feb. 26 Dad passed away at my brothers home at 89 years old. He had been suffering from advanced dementia and was wheelchair bound. He declined quickly the last week. Mom and Dad will be sorely missed and forever in our hearts, but they had long full lives and are now together free of their infirmities.
Feb. 27 was my birthday, beyond bittersweet.
Feb. 28 we buried Dad surrounded by family and friends.
