Fred

Fred, Andrea’s husband, passed away early Saturday evening. I don’t know any more than that.

The funeral is Saturday. I thought we had it all worked out how we were going to go, but things have changed. We were going to drive but now Luke wants to fly. He wants to be able to arrive rested and stay longer which is completely understandable. But i don’t want to fly, and i need to have my doctor check something out first anyway. So travel plans are all up in the air again.

I do not expect you guys to go to the funeral; it is not like you were close. But I guess i will tell you time and date and all when i find out… or better, i will call.

  1. Do send details and what Andrea would like for memorials – can send traditional floral arrangement or make donation to designated group, if she’s designated a group.

  2. Indeed; I don’t even know her address.

    For us, getting there isn’t in the cards. Aleah wouldn’t handle that long of a drive.

  3. Of course not…. Like i said i do not expect you to go to the funeral, but i assume you want to be informed.

    The plan is, assuming you can put us up, to leave here on Wednesday after your dad gets off work, spend the night there, and drive the rest of the way on Thursday.

    We will be coming back Tuesday/Wednesday the following week, but i think we will be spending the night somewhere between Abilene and Austin. We will might (unless we are running late) stop in for a short visit Wednesday. (Actually, i guess we might spend the night again, but i am assuming we will stop and visit with Luke’s dad on Tuesday, making it more practical to stop sooner than Austin.)

    Ramona… Your dad talked to Andrea but did not know to ask your question. I will let you know as soon as i know.

  4. Our spare bedroom is still setup and ready for people. Be aware that if you want to stay and leave in the morning, you need to get out of the house early in the morning to avoid traffic.

    These days I leave the house around 7:00 – 7:20; there is *plenty* of traffic at that point. Even when I was leaving closer to 6:20 the traffic was starting up.

  5. I imagine your dad will want to get an early start. I thought we would probably get up early and leaving as quietly as we could and that you could tell us the best way out. And if we are not early enough… then i guess we deal with traffic.
