A Death in the Family

Last week we lost Pete Seeger  and our kids lost their Mom.  Death is always difficult,
but when it is a parent it is extremely difficult.  The best thing to do is stay together as a family to help, support and love one another.  That is exactly what is happening in our family.  Despite the frozen weather in Atlanta, our oldest arrived this week on Thursday evening.  She was picked up by her uncle that evening.  The youngest is in
school right now, but will join us later.  He is being updated by phone and the poor kid has a cold on top of everything else!  The kids are taking care of all the arrangements and there will be a funeral next week.  It is really heartening to see them all together,
helping, loving and supporting.  Today we are all going to get together to share a meal,
tell some stories and maybe sing a song or two.   Please send up some prayers.
