4:30 am Reflection (during my first few months of grieving).
Kay and her brood -Katie, Andrew, and Kristin
Two years ago today we said goodbye to 33-year-old Katherine (“Katie”), RIP. Today her mother Kay posted this amazing reflection. Click the link above the photograph for Kay’s recollection and reflection.
Below is a photograph of Katherine (she preferred her formal name in her adult years) and Christopher (“Chris”), her husband and best friend, during a family trip to Costa Rica in 2009. Chris, you were the best of the best. Payers for Chris Katie’s father, Steve, sister Kristin, brother Andrew, and Kay. “And a glad sound comes with the setting sun: ‘Well done! Well done!'” – final stanza, hymn “Come, Labor On.”

“Who from their labors rest…” One of the loveliest, Carolyn. We must have sung in the same choir. But we never heard sine nomine on a great organ until after Marple. One of my favorites also.

This is while I was grieving for my Dad Gordon. He passed away two years ago on May 18th. I was with him. So glad for the memories as I’m sure you are for her.

Sheryl, I loved your Dad. Uncle Roy – “Junior” as Grandpa Titus called him – was a chip off LeRoy, Sr.’s block. He had that Titus resilience and funny bone. I remember two years ago. You and the family did well by your Dad. Glad for all the memories.
