Sunday afternoon. You have been neatly
hanging clothes, clearing the clutter in closets after buying more Staples
business boxes one marked 'Carol: books' the other 'R's stuff/basement'
[files]. Carol has been working on her desk in the kitchen. The 'office' files
are already at Kim and Paul's or shelved in the basement for moving. Kim has
been in touch with your realtor, Susie G. (her son Luke was a student of yours
and he is a realtor with Susie also). Susie worked with your retired realtor
when Kim was in high school also working with your realtor at the time. Once
the carpet is in you can move ahead for an 'opening'. - Amorella
1352 hours. We will all be happier when this
selling is sold and we can focus on moving or staying in place depending on
what we and the new owners want to do.
Late Friday
afternoon, you and Bud C. went to see the Grimsleys at Rich's visitation in Mt.
Washington down near the river. You both knew no one but the immediate family.
You expected to see some from Rich's work (as you sometimes had lunch with them
too) but none showed up while you two were present. - Amorella
1358 hours. Visiting with Jessie was the
saddest. Later, I saw her looking my way from afar and I broke into tears
myself and hid in a hallway until I recovered. Just a glance through watered
eyes, and we immediately drilled into deeper, silent memories of her family and
our family together on one adventure or another -- be it Disney World or a
weekend of sailing or just getting together. Angie, his second wife, seemed a
bit surprised that Rich told me about his heart attack last year because he
rarely talked about his health. She said his passing was not entirely
unexpected but it was at the same time. No one said outright but I assume it
was heart failure. One of his favorite works of 'art' was a blown up photo of a
computer chip. Typical Rich., a software engineer extraordinaire. I took an angled picture of it.
