Preparing for a funeral

This is Monday evening here at the Eicher homestead. Everyone is getting showered and ready for bed. Supper was easy tonight — son Joseph brought supper home. On the menu was pizza, wings, and subs. What a treat for daughter Lovina and me to not have to get supper.

Joe and I had left after he was home from work and showered. We attended the viewing/visitation of son-in-law Tim’s Aunt Sylvia, age 64. She passed away suddenly on Friday. Her husband found her lying down in the house — life had fled. Our sympathy to her husband and family left to mourn. Sylvia was in the same church district as we were for quite a few years. She always had a smile, and when I went to their general store and greenhouse she always asked how we were doing. She will be greatly missed! Her husband Mervin will have many lonely days ahead. Their four children are all married, and he lives alone now.
