Celebration of Life

 Plans are underway for Tom's Celebration of Life. As disappointing as it was to learn that Prospectors would not be able to accommodate me, I think O'Connors will work out just fine.

I am lucky to have friends that are experienced in setting up events and generously available to help me with all the planning.

Sue and Patrick are coming to stay with me for the weekend and maybe offer some help, too, along with fun and company. :-)

I am still in limbo status, functioning but not really as on top of things as I normally would be. I am adrift unless I am in a specific situation like working at the office, finding it hard to concentrate and get things done.

A Time of Mourning

 Tom died just before noon last Sunday, January 18th.

He was in the hospital in very bad shape. We had just agreed to get him to hospice on the 2nd floor after he said to me, "Whatever you want." and then he took his last breath with me at his side.

Perenchief funeral home cremated him, posted my obituary for Tom, and will be making arrangements at the Veterans Cemetery in Wrightstown for a brief ceremony by the Navy. We'll hold a Celebration of Life in April too.

I have contacted social security, pension, davita, comforcare. 

I have changed my xfinity account (though it may have to be tweaked when I see how it was changed). Still looking to notify more as needed.

So many friends  (facebook and otherwise) have reached out in sympathy and support. I am grateful.

I am also very grateful that Jennifer has been here with me.
