Not quite in time

Friday I decided to go to Lansing and try to see Aunt Nancy before she passed away.  She had been going downhill all week and was transferred to a Hospice there on Wednesday.

So I started out at 6:30 to beat traffic which I did but I got a call around 9:30 CT that I was too late.  I had driven as far as Battle Creek, MI and was only about 50 miles away but there really was nothing I could do so I turned around.  I guess Aunt Nancy passed away in the morning but none of her family had arrived yet.  I called around 7:00 to confirm with Hospice that she was seeing visitors and they said it should be ok, but to check with Bill.  I don’t have Bill’s number but since they sounded positive, I kept on.

Now the plans begin.  Not sure when the funeral is yet.  My Colorado family is planning on flying to Chicago on Sunday night and we’ll drive with them to Michigan Monday.  I would imagince the funeral will be Tuesday or Wednesday.  I’ll take as much time from work as I need.

Please keep us in your prayers as we get ready to travel.  Especially keep Bill, Mike and Sara in your prayers as they deal with the lose of a spouse and Mother.

Thanks
