Thanks for the prayers

 

50 years


January 27, 2022

Hard to believe that Dad has been gone 50 years... a solemn anniversary, for sure. 
I love this photo; one of my favorites of Dad swinging the golf club in the front yard of the La Mesa house! 
I picture him golfing in many gorgeous courses throughout the world...Ireland, Scotland, Augusta Georgia, Maui Hawaii, in Pebble Beach and of course... Torrey Pines! His choice! 
Rest in peace Dad... till we meet again! Gotcha Last and Love You More!💓

Dan emailed me this morning with this message:
"While cleaning up my browser website bookmarks, I noticed that the last post to the family blog was Reenie's request for prayers for Jan. I decided to tie off that thread with a post today. Feel free to share. The blog is open for business again! :-) Lots going on."  

Well... I am so rusty... I had to re-educate myself as to how to post!

Thanks, Dan for this  beautiful post!

I am taking a biospiritual workshop and the reminder was that we are made for relationships!
Though this is such a dark and challenging time... it is important to stay connected!

We offer our deepest condolences to not only Dan, but also to Lynn Weddington Welly, as her husband,  Michael passed away earlier this month. 

Dan sent me a video that his parish made as a tribute for the families of parishoners who passed this past year.
It was set to the most beautiful song: Saints and Beloved of God

With rusty loves... I love you all more! 
Reenie

Good times, good memories, much gratitude, for Jan, for you, for my family, for your prayers and support. Lots to look forward to, and to share with Jan in my heart.

With love,
Dan

  2. I'd forgotten how much I missed this. Thanks, Dan! Great picture of your dad. Coincidentally my father died almost exactly 45 years ago on January 26, 1977.

    1. Thanks, Unknown. Reenie supplied the Dad content, although I believe I took the shot with my Instamatic — remember those? And that’s my first car, from Mr & Mrs Kerley, in the background.

  3. The above is such a neat tribute to three very special people; Dad - Jim, Janice and Michael. I have missed dad for 50 years! Jan is truly missed as an extra sister. Michael is missed by family and friends and coworkers.
    thank you Reenie and down, always a pleasure reading what you have to say… ☘️💙❤️☘️
