It is personal, however, the reflection casts a much larger shadow.
It has been difficult these most recent months for this reporter/writer/servant/person, to continually function.
That is, to function with a clear mind, solid soul, and positive spirit. Somehow, the task has been completed.
Help has been available, and help has been offered to others in the death of my wife March 23.
Donna Crane, a wonderful person and family advocate, received a memorial celebration of life April 13.
The celebration of life was at Unity of Fox Valley in Batavia, an extended family for certain.
Journalistic writing usually remains more clear and sound when the I, the person, remains detached.
Uppermost in my thinking recently has been focused on others and myself affected by Donna Crane’s death.
Two sisters not long ago died and that sincerely was a test, however, a mate of 51 years requires extra help.
Assistance from family, church family, friends, and readers, provided a significant lift to my spirit.
Thank you to everyone involved in seeking to move forward. Next week’s space should be less personal.
