D.R. Hewlett - 1957-2013

We are so saddened by the death of Roger's nephew, DR, of an apparent heart attack. He was 10 years younger than Roger! Duane had four children, three sons, DR, Wally and Randy and a daughter, Cathy, the youngest. All three boys have died suddenly of heart related illness. How many crosses does one family have to bear?

We drove to Michigan for four days - we would much rather see family and friends at a wedding than a funeral. We darn near froze! Snow and 0-20 degrees - we don't have clothes and shoes to keep warm in that kind of weather!

We drove back in 18 hours straight! The weather was nice, the traffic light and we weren't tired to we just kept going! Heather really "chewed me out" for it - guess our roles have reversed! But, she's right - we are retired and have all the time in the world - what was the hurry? Sleeping in our own bed!!!
