    Another Sad Passing

    My aunt Jan passed away early yesterday morning. Her mother, my grandmother, passed away three weeks ago. This is all very dfficult for our family, particularly Jan's daughter. Please keep Jan's husband, brothers and sisters, daughter and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

    I asked a few of you to read something I wrote for Jan's service and truly appreciate your input. I am waiting for an answer from her husband as to whether or not he will allow the piece to be read.

    Thank you, my Creeker friends, for your friendship and support, and for always being here when I need you.

    Thanks gentlemen. Jan was only 59. She and her husband had only been married for six years. He lost his first wife to cancer, and has now lost Jan to cancer as well. He is having a very tough time with this, to say the least. They met at his daughter's wedding when she married Jan's nephew. So, my cousin has lost his aunt, who was also his mother-in-law, and the woman his daughters knew as grandmother.

    Belinda, please accept my deepest condolences from north of the border.
    While I log into sawmill creek every few days, and enjoy reading the content, I seldom post a reply.

    I always look for your comments and tales and again, my prayers are with you.
    As my grandfather once told me, "Think, and I am sure you will find a harder way to do it!"
