The memorial for our dear friend, Denny Cummings, was wonderful. The kids and I rode with my parents to Ellensburg. We checked into our hotel and headed over to a restaurant next door. To our surprise Denny's wife and two grown boys came in for dinner. I was very thankful to see them and have our hugs and tears together before the memorial. I felt much better when we headed back to the hotel for a swim.
I still am amazed at how many of Denny's boys long time friends showed up and to boot helped out in any way that they could, picking up, handing out programs, greeting people, getting people drinks, transporting flowers, etc. Growing up in a small town until college has great rewards. I know that I should not be surprised at what they were doing for the boys and Linda because my friends would do the same thing. I am really feeling better about the whole situation and I am extremely grateful for my friends, even if I do not express it.
Tip of the day: Make new friends but keep the old, some are silver are the others gold.
We've been thinking of you. So glad to hear you had a good trip over to Ellensburg and had a nice time visiting with friends & family :)
