Thanks Phyllis: Was she ill? We lived down the street from her on Jane Drive and would see her fairly often. How are you doing?

All of Justin's kids did a wonderful job caring for him. Once he said they were a lot of work but like a barrel of monkeys. Now he was a lot of work but they made as much fun with it as they could via his wake, nicely done though different, and his last lottery winning, etc. and JJ getting him to sit for a few minutes with him toward the last days, and how they are including his out of town former navy daughter into things. And his funny under the chin wave, too.
