The gig that I was hoping to avoid...at least for a while.

My Aunt Marilyn, passed away today. :cry: She is actually my husband's aunt and she requested that I presented the musical program for her final goodbye. That will happen next Friday in Ohio-which gives me time to adjust emotionally so that I can present the music as beautifully as I can. This will affect the frequency of my posting and possibly my comments...Just wanted you all to know so that you can send prayers and thoughts my way.

Hope you are all doing well :)
Mary

Those are tough gigs. Good luck with it, Mary, & have a safe trip to Ohio.

I know you'll make her proud.

Mary,
I'm sure you will fulfill this solemn duty to the comfort of all. Aunt Marilyn must think very highly of you.
May God bless you all.
John

It's an honour Mary which I think you will cope with just fine. Thoughts are with you.

Oh wow!
My deepest condolences Mary.
Being the relaxed fit kinda guy I am (yea right :roll: ) it would be a year if ever, I could do that gig without crying my eyes out.
May God grant you grace and peace to accomplish this task.

Damn, I tear up just thinking about it. :cry:

Philby, Craig Chippy,Sanshouheil, John Thank you so much for your friendship and comments. What worries me is my mom will be leaving the hospital today following a mild heart attack and intestinal infection. She and Auntie became bossom buddies after Matt and I married 15 years ago.She has no idea that her buddy is gone. I am worried about how and when to tell her. :cry:

Oh well, I think this year will be a difficult one. :?

Mary

My Dear lady.
I cannot speak for your family. But only for myself. Even at the possible loss of my own life would I want to be aware of the passing of one near myself.

Do what your heart tell you.
Mostly works out fine that way.

It's not so much that I don't want to tell my mom. I just want her to be a little stronger so that she continues to improve with her health. She does go home today and I discussed this with my sister so Anita will make the decision when to tell her. We are already figuring out how to get mom to the funeral without her missing her dyalisis appointment. This may possibly be the last time my mom hears me play. :cry: She's probably tired of hearing me play anyway. :?

I am blessed that both sides of my family are so close.
