To our dear friend Sharon and her family,
We are still in shock from learing of Dan's passing. We just wanted to let you know how very sad we are that we are not able to be with you during this very difficult time. We will always remember the many good times we spent together over the years. The good meals we shared, card games, sporting events, travel and just sitting around talking and sharing a few laughs. One time in particular that comes to mind during a conversation we were having about how the kids today wanted all the expensive clothing with the fancy labels they had on the pockets of their jeans. Dan decided that maybe we could go to Sears and purchase the cheapest jeans money could buy then make little tags that said "Monroeski's" and sew them on the pockets. They would become a big fad and everyone would want some. So funny, I still get a chuckle when I think about that.
I have been trying to get your new phone number, not sure if you are up to talking though. As you know Don has been quite ill and having a hard time of it while on the Chemo which goes on til September. We hope we will be able to get to Iowa, time will tell. Just know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. May God look over you and hold you in his arms and comfort you as you go though the difficult days that lie ahead. We will be thinking of you.
With our love and friendship,
Don and Carole
"There is no night without a dawning,
No winter without a spring,
And beyond death's dark horizon,
Our hearts once more will sing.
For those who leave us for a while,
Have only gone away,
Out of a restless careworn world,
Into a brighter day.
