The Farnham's Gather

The alley is looking very grim and that's about how we feel.  Sharon collapsed Friday and ultimately lost her battles with life Sunday afternoon.  It has been a mind-boggling few days with much running water from the eyes and trying to come to terms with the shock.  Today Drais, Jr, Kitty, Karen and Courtney arrived with Michael and Mark arriving Saturday.  We went down loaded up the cart and came back with Clay Tuesday. He is parked up on top for the summer beside John Hedges.  This afternoon has  been all about memories.  Memories are how we get from this minute to the next minute with the intervals widening as time passes but never break.

We will have a memorial service in the clubhouse Saturday evening.










In 2009 when we left that first spring we had all declared to meet again - just one more season - before we all split to do more of our dreams.  We knew that life would happen at some point and we were having too much fun to not ride the wave.  We did this again in 2010 and again in 2011. Well, damn!  Life slapped us along the head - now we'll have our first get together in the fall doing the memory road one more time.  Damn I'm going to miss you Sharon!!
