It’s 1:45 PM Saturday… and I just learned (via email) of the passing of a dear, dear cousin. ~~ Lowell Harvey Beachler opened his home, his library, and his file cabinets to introduce me to my ancestry. If you check my publication titled Frantz Families–Kith & Kin you will see him recognized for his contributions to the massive family history. Honestly, when I saw his name listed (in the email) I started sobbing “Oh no, oh no.” It has been ten years since we last visited but I’ve always believed we would meet again. Now, that visit will be when we both are in Heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Two days ago–at this very hour–I was attending a Memorial Service for an RVing and square dancing friend. There was “standing room only” in the multi-purpose room of the CARE Center–for Betsy Waite.

Letting go of friends, and treasures, is so painful!!
