Thinking of you this morning
8:50AM Sassy
I appreciate it ever so much.

10:17AM Sassy
I posted to Facebook:
My mom died last night. I’m relieved that her suffering is over, and keeping busy with the arrangements. Memorial service details coming up soon as we nail them down. Any cat fun photos appreciated.

1:09PM
I posted Mom’s obituary.  Got a lot of sympathy.  And cat photos.

2:37PM Phil
Glad I had the opportunity to know her at church and through pictures over the years.

7:31PM Sassy
Thank you Philip. Those were the days. She always called you “such a good boy!”

7:58PM Phil
I will always have such great memories of both your parents. That’s a nice legacy to leave. They were good people

Earlier intervention

June 13, 2016 Monday

12:40AM Sassy
Deep thoughts… looking for answers. I don’t dig in to every headline but twice this week I noticed in a report of heinous murder that the shooter had a history of domestic violence. That may be worth digging into… can we do more on those crimes so they don’t escalate to murder? Sigh. It’s past time to start trying everything to stop these shootings.

1:16PM Phil
Enjoying the day

Mmmm…adore those toes!
