Sad Week

The evening that we returned from Florida we got a call that Mike`s little sister Laurel had suffered a cardiac arrest in the hospital in Cleveland.The next morning we were once again in a rental car and went to Cleveland.We arrived in time to spend time with her and pick up his sister Lu from the airport.Laurel lost her battle and passed away with us at her side.Our daughter Amy flew in from Seattle and was a big help comforting Grandma and sorting through Laurel`s apartment.Laurel was a stained glass artist and photographer as well as clerk in the ICU at University Hospital.We are back in Annapolis and preparing the boat for yardwork here and our trip to Seattle.
