Away For a Bit

by | Jul 11, 2022 | Uncategorized | 84 comments

Friends,

When I’m going to be away from my blog for several days or longer, I like to let you know that I won’t be posting.

My 61 year old brother-in-law, Steve, found out he had a brain tumor (glioblastoma) in February 2021. Up until three weeks ago, he was still playing golf but there were signs that the tumor was becoming aggressive. Steve passed away this morning.  I will be taking time off to support my husband during this difficult time.

    Prayer during this difficult time – nice to know he was able to play golf almost to the end – I’m sure that was one of his great joys –
