The last couple of days on the ferry were uneventful, with much of the time in a deep fog. Looking back, was that a sign of what was to come?

After leaving our ship in Bellingham, we entered the driveway to a 'Welcome Home' sign followed by the sad & shocking news that our son-in-law, Scot German, was killed in a crash of their family plane on their ranch in NE earlier that morning. Our precious daughter, Linda, was a widow at 49! How our hearts ached for her and the German family in NE.

We repacked our suitcase, flew to NE for the funeral, and then Linda and children flew to WA for a family time, which had been preplanned. It was a whirlwind of activity, emotions, wonderful family interactions, along with laughter and tears. For a week, there were 10 - 14 of us eating, playing games, seeing many of God's blessings and guidance amidst all of the tragedy. We will miss Scot's smile, hugs, and thoughtful conversations. Linda will be adjusting to a new reality of life without her husband and lover. Please continue to pray for her and the children, Sara, Jilanne, Shane, Kevin and Cindy.
