What to do

Tom and I are struggling. We just don't know what to do about traveling to Texas for Joe's memorial service. I guess I am using this blog to put it down in writing. Hoping it will help. There will be a service (very, very small) for him on Wednesday in Killeen, TX. This service is more for his brother, Sean and Joe's friends. Kate, Chuck, Jan, David, Matthew will all be there to offer support for Sean. It is expensive to go and a bad time for Tom to leave work, yet Tom feels guilty about not going if they need him there.

We want to have a service here in the springs for Pookie to have some closure. Skip has not talked to his son in years and he needs some closure too. PLEASE pray for him. My heart breaks for him the most. Tom and I are thinking that we could take charge and plan the service here, if we don't go to Texas. Joe was not a Christian, so I don't know what the service would look like. If anybody has any suggestions, let me know.

Please pray for us today as we are gonna tell Pookie. Our big family Thanksgiving will be this afternoon. It was to be a happy time and now I am not so sure.

Thanks for listening to me ramble on this morning. I just needed to see my thoughts and bounce ideas off of people who love us the most.

Take care all.
