Brandan made a quick trip to Utah this week. Dan met him at the airport and they first took flowers to Linda's memorial site.
Brandan made the trip to support Dan as he spoke at the Utah Hospice and Palliative Care Convention. He was invited to share his personal experience with hospice. Dan and Linda were blessed with wonderful hospice nurses, chaplains and counselors at the end of Linda's life. Dan spoke of his appreciation for the wonderful care Linda received. He feels that birth is a celebrated experience and, even though parting is sad, death can also be a celebration and a time for gathering. Dan and Linda organized this convention for several years in their role as presidents of the Utah Home Health and Hospice Association and were well known to the attendees. Luckily he was the last speaker of the convention because it wouldn't have been easy to follow.
Brandan, Abe, Helen and Gibson spent a couple of hours on Saturday delivering fliers to remind people of the Scout food drive next week.
Abe tried out for the 7th grade basketball team this week and made the JV squad. We're looking forward to watching him play.

Good job Abe!
If you're kids like passing out flyers, we would love help passing out flyers at the VA. We take them around 45 minutes before the recital - that's how we're able to get most of the vets to come.
