A chilly, dreary, drizzly Monday and the weather reflects the overwhelming sadness we are feeling. This morning we heard that Mark's sister, Sue passed away - she just didn't wake up this morning. We are devastated, in shock and disbelief that this wonderful, kind, generous, with-a-heart-of-gold lady is gone.
Sue was 9th of the 13 Chamberlain children and would've been 63 this Thursday, the 15th. She and Tom celebrated their 41st wedding anniversary September 29th. They have 4 daughters,3 son-in-laws, 2 grandsons and 2 granddaughters. Sue returned home last night after being with daughter Katy and helping out with their new baby Evelyn and big brother, Oliver 4. Sue texted the siblings that she would not be doing zoom cause she hadn't seen Tom in 2 weeks. We certainly understood that.....and then to hear this tragic news this morning.
Mark and I went into town - he had appointment with Larry Strong (personal trainer) to see what exercises he should be doing to help his back along (injection has been very SLOW working). I picked up Starbucks and apple fritters and visited Donna Rae for a short time. It was so good to see her and catch up. Mark picked me up and we were off to East Peoria first stopping at Busy Corner for lunch and pie to go. We met Allie, Owen, and Jane (Joe was not able to join us) and kept our distance in Veterans Shelter in Fondulac Park. It rained on our way there but then just off and on drizzle. But the chilly temps and strong winds were not pleasant. We ate our lunch near some tall evergreen trees for a bit of protection. Great visit with these folks and then we said our good byes and came back to KK.
