On December 28, 2023 we had Jack and Marilyn and the Nevilles over for breakfast. Jack and Marilyn enjoyed a Bloody Mary along with their breakfast. Like always with these folks we had a grand time. It's going to be hard going forward seeing Marilyn without Jack...goodness they've been married longer than I've been alive; I'm 71. Jack is now in Paradise where we'll all be together soon. We pray peace and strength and love to Marilyn and the lovely Schwander family. Until we meet again, God bless us all. Love Celeste and Bruce.
