He's of the colour of the nutmeg. And of the heat of the ginger.... he is pure air and fire; and the dull elements of earth and water never appear in him, but only in patient stillness while his rider mounts him; he is indeed a horse, and all other jades you may call beasts. ~William Shakespeare, Henry V

SORRY JOSIE

I found out yesterday that Josie Faul's father passed away from a sudden heart attack. The funeral was today at 11 in Devils Lake. My uncle was a paulbearer for Martin Utke.

I feel just awful for Josie. Her mother passes away when she was very young and they don't even know where she is buried (long story...don't ask because I don't have all the details) and to have her father pass away must be just devistating.

I know she doesn't post on her blog anymore. She made it very clear that she does not want to speak to any of us anymore. I don't even know if she checks our blogs anymore either. If she , or someone that she knows does, I just want to let her know that I am very sorry for her lose and that my prayers are with her and Amadon at this time.

    Thanks for your support, what uncle was a pallbearer?, they were all very close family friends or family to us. I guess I never realized we had a connection. It's very devastating to lose your parent, especially both. I can't even begin to describe it. And planning a funeral....but I know he's in heaven and at peace with my mom. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers.

    Bill Wanschaffe is my uncle. He is my mothers brother. Mom told me that they were in the same class together in school. I didn't know that. It really is a small world when you think about it.

    I got the Christmas card you and Amadon sent to us. Yours is in the mail. Please keep in touch.

    P.S. - Bill's little boy was born 11 days before Jessie. It has been really fun to watch the two cousins grow up together.
