We interrupt this trip for
a special reason. I have lost my big
sister, Bootsie (Margaret Mary). She
died on Saturday.
The plan is set. I will fly out of Boise to Chicago on
Wednesday for the memorial services. Rob
will stay behind with Noobee and continue to travel toward Spokane for Rachie’s
wedding. After the funeral on Friday the 19th, I will fly into Spokane in time for the wedding and we
will resume our trip. Bootsie would have
insisted on it.
The Kraus family is quite
blue and essentially now flying blind.
Bootsie was our anchor, our port in the storm, our rudder. Now we are seven.

ReplyDeleteFrank F - Queen Creek, Az - I deeply apologize for this late reply. Losing our loved ones is not easy. And their loss leaves an empty hole in your life. Having been down this same path with my brother, parents and most recently my wife Diane. I understand and share in your loss. My condolences go out to you. Take care and may the good Lord be with you.
ReplyDeleteYou were in Jerome and didn't tell me. I only live about 30 minutes from there in Buhl.
