Mon.-Missi brought Reagan here last eve. and he spent the day with us. It stormed most of the day. He wanted to go to the river so badly, so I filled my big tub with water, bubbles, and toys, and he played for a long time. Even ate his lunch in there. Robert Miller passed away today after being in a coma for over a week. Robert is my sister in law, Karen Hertzler's only brother. He was in a cycle accident over a week ago. What a battle everyone waged for his life. Now, his battle's over.
Thurs.-Took corn to Helton's and Susan and I got our hair cut. Stopped in at Lindsay's for awhile.
Fri.-Judy and Sammy Jo came for lunch and some time at the river. Sammy Jo really enjoyed the water. Phil and boys came home by 9:00 this eve. It was four years ago, today, that we got the awful news about Johnny Hertzler's death in Thailand. I am happy for you, Johnny. You are where we all want to be. We still miss you and love you dearly.
Sat.-Phil and I had coffee on front porch. He brought home peaches and a giant watermelon and his own cheerful self. Had a nice day together. Mom and Dad home from Paraguay today.
Sun.-Susan and I took her frogs to Kelly. She's watching them while Susan is at camp. The girls took Kelly's rabbit into the pool with them while Betty and I visited. (Robert's viewing at Hopewell in PA. from 3-8. )
New Life's worship service especially meaningful to me today. Missi sang, "His eye is on the Sparrow." I was singing this song yesterday.
Mon.-Dropped Susan off at church for camp. She was so excited. Met Michael at the bank to set up a checking account, met Nolte at the lawyer's office for a check, went to Riverside with Edna and JD paid for our lunch, visited Lindsay and the girls for several hours, and had supper with Candi at Ruby Tuesday's. What a happy day.
Robert's funeral in PA. Unable to go. Church packed. Nearly 500 stayed for lunch. Naomi said it was such a meaningful service. One of Robert's favorite songs is mine as well-"His eye is on The Sparrow." Andy Petersheim shared fond memories. People were laughing and crying. All the best to Robert's family. Surely He has borne your griefs and carried your sorrows...
