I'm emotionally exhausted, but I just can't seem to sleep. All of these thoughts running through my head. Wondering how Scott and Jan and Jennifer are doing tonight. We spent the afternoon with Scott and Jan. We did a lot of crying. I looked through pictures with Jan, her sharing with me events from Ryan's childhood. At times we laughed. At times we cried. I ran to the store to get lunch meat, rolls, etc, so they had something in the house to eat. Their son Brandon, his wife Natalie and their 5 week old boy were on their way from Madison. Mark and I had to leave before they got to Scott and Jan's house. It looks like all 5 of them will be flying out of MSP tomorrow so they can get to Ryan's wife's side in Georgia. They're not sure of the arrangements yet. They're sure that Jennifer will want Ryan down there, but they'd like him up here. What to do?? Scott had a great compromise: they cremate Ryan and part of his remains are with Jennifer and part are with Scott and Jan. I can't believe we're even having to talk about this! It just doesn't seem real. There will be a memorial service for Ryan probably on July 14th here in Wisconsin. Mark and I will help Scott and Jan plan that if they need our help. I'm not exactly sure how to do that, but we'll do what they want/need us to do. We love them so much.
We haven't gotten any news yet about arrangements for our friend Scott Basche. Of course today, of all days, the Wisconsin State Journal on line is having problems posting their obituaries. UGH!!! I've looked EVERYWHERE and can't find anything.
Thank you for your prayers for our friends and for us. Time to fold a load of clothes and hopefully get some sleep.
