I used to use this blog as a family activity blog, but it hasn't been used as such in over six years. So now it's my own personal diary/blog, for my random thoughts.... and for journaling travels with my sweet hubby, so I can review the good times later.

Hi Susan, I wanted to get this picture to you – Brittany and I put a flag at your dad’s gravesite this morning. We were there with the Girl Scouts helping to put flags on the grave sites [for Memorial Day]. Take care! Melonie
Melonie, We are all moved by your kindness, for honoring Dad and also for teaching Brittany the importance of honoring our veterans. Thank You sounds so trivial, but please know it comes from my heart. Love, Susan
I don't even know how to write this. We are all so very sad. Melonie Schollmeyer, a vibrant woman, our relative and friend, became suddenly ill over the weekend and passed away. Details at this point are sketchy. **(The following is updated info as of noon Monday)** Melonie's children, Brittany and Robert, just had their Confirmation on Saturday evening. Melonie was not feeling well enough to attend, and stayed at home with flu-like symptoms. Afterward the children, Mary, and Cheryl all visited with Mel before going taking the children to spend the night with Tom. The next day Cheryl and Mary could not raise Melonie by telephone and so asked Tom to go see how she was doing. He did so (thankfully the children stayed in the car) and found Melonie had passed away in the bedroom. The Medical Examiner's Office is doing an autopsy to determine the cause of death. Mary Wroten, Mel's mom, and her sister Cheryl Wroten, are understandably still in somewhat of a shock today. I am ...
Rick reports that his mom had been overdosed on Coumidin - an extremely dangerous anticoagulant drug - and also had an infection going on. Long story short, she is no longer at the physical rehab facility. She has been admitted again back into the hospital where both situations are hopefully being remedied, and she has the love and support of us all. Auntie Edith, hang in there, we all love you!!
Well, Carrie and Rickey Lynn have played the guilt card on me successfully... so I'll keep this blog going. But I do ask that others in the clan send me some info to post from time to time, okay? Let us know what is happening in your lives. Carrie volunteered to be a contributor. If anyone else wants to contribute, that's great. If you don't want to be a contributor but do have some news to tell, just send it to me in an email and I will post it for you. If we're gonna keep this up, let's do it up right. Hugs all around to all the family!!
