MISSING MY BROTHER LOREN....... He left this earthly world to be with his heavenly Father in September. He was diagnosed with lymphoma just 6 or 8 weeks earlier. You know, I wouldn't wish it any different for him, but I sure wasn't ready to say goodbye to him. Not being able to just pick up the phone and hearing his voice is tough for me. If he wasn't so doggone nice and loveable, it may not be quite so hard. :) I was able to fly to Houston and be there with Dar and the boys when he died. I am so thankful for that time! I flew back home, got airline tickets for all of us and 3 days later, we flew to Oklahoma for his funeral. And what a good time our family had together there. I was so surprised and comforted by all the family that came/flew from Ohio!!! That was the best part for me I think, having time with 30 or more cousins, aunts, & uncles.... Loren would've enjoyed so much, having all them at his house to entertain, tell stories with, and laugh together!!!
"GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN...... SON YOUR WORK ON EARTH IS DONE....."

You are surely missed, my brother!
