Wednesday, November 4th - 4PM - Arrangements

Long night.
Longer day.
Can't believe this all started just one week ago.
Been busy.

Showing -Saturday, November 7th
Conkle Funeral Home in Avon (off 267 and US 36) - 11AM to 1PM
At 1PM we will go to Amo Cemetary (It is just past Danville).
One of Stephanie's good friends has some plots there and is giving us two.
It's beautiful.
Out in the country - trees - horses - very peaceful.
There will be a brief gravesite service and then we will come back to my house.
Friends are provided food.
Lots to talk about.
Lots of stories to tell.

I found out today that funeral homes do not accept payment plans.
We have set up a way to get donations and also for the money we raise from some fundraisers we are planning to hold.
I have opened an account at National City Bank.

Gary's Fight c/o Diana Bell.

We have accomplished a lot today.
Steph is such a trooper - I dragged her everywhere.

Funeral Home, Bank, Florist, Cemetary.

And, in the middle of it all she dragged me somewhere...
Out in the country to pet animals, see horses, look at chickens and walk in manure.
But you know what...
It's just what we needed.

We are putting together photos and will be talking to a paster tomorrow.
Couldn't decide it I should get priest or not.
Figured Gary's been doused with about as much holy water as he can take.
So we decided against the idea of a priest.

Lots of emotions today.

Steph is talking to Matthew now.
How do you tell a 6 year old that Daddy won't be coming home?
He's so smart.
He's so special.
A gift from God.
She will find a way.....

Thank you for your prayers.

I will continue this blog until we are done......

Still lots to do.
