I flew in to Philly last night and was to fly into Indy, but to make a long story short, after transferring from one airport and airline to another, I was getting stuck in one place after another. I turned around and went home.I remember so fondly all the gatherings our families had together and the "adventures" we had on them. And to think it all started with swimming lessons all those years ago! I think of your family often and an sending a lot of energy and love your way. I am so very sad for your loss.
