A note from Claudine

Hello Classmates.

 

It took me a little time to tune in this morning.  I had been out of the country for three weeks, arriving late last night, and was just trying to catch any recently arriving  e-mails that might address banking or other such and similar  problems.  Then I saw the notice about Bonnie but did not spend the requisite time to go through older e-mails  to get my facts straight before sending out  messages asking for information that had already been provided.  My apologies.

 

That said, I was both shocked and saddened at Bonnie's death.  As I said in a message to the Reunion Committee, she looked so well and was her old self at the reunion.  Most of us had not seen her since the 10th reunion and were very glad she could join us for this last one.  There was never anyone who was such fun to be around and to visit with.  Her "Best Personality" award on the Senior Ballot was right on.

 

 I had no idea she was ill but now am aware that I was one of the few "sorority sisters" that was unaware of her kidney and heart problems.  I am sorry that I did not stay in closer touch.

 

It seems we all may need to ensure that we stay in touch. The scariest thing is to think about the time when there is no one at the end of the line? So, let us talk now from time to time.

 

Keep moving.

Bob, don't know whether these pictures will show up good enough to post on the Paseo web site - what do you think?  You are welcome to put them on if you think appropriate.  Thanks,  Sharon Robertson

Just got back from a week in Colorado - went to see the aspens in all their glory - great yellow and gold colors.  Pictures can't do the scenery and color justice, but here are a couple of attempts.  Sharon and Joe

Aspens in full color - central CO	2 bucks just outside the door at Embassy Suites in CO Springs - they seemed almost "tame"

Responses to sad news

Hello, Robert,

I well remember you and also Bonnie (Adams) Woods. We are at the age now when some of us check out and move on beyond the here and now. If you can contact Bonnie's family, please let her know that she is remembered by all of us who knew her 50-some years ago in the days at Paseo when we were all young and healthy together and when the future stretched bright and broad before us. It still does, only in another realm, and Bonnie will make her journey soon. Please give her best to her family for these days ahead.

Thank you for your kindness and thoughtfulness in notifying us. If you can get a mailing address, I'm sure many of us would like to send a note to the family.

Warmly,

Hi Bob and Jeanne,

Thanks for sending this to us, so sorry to hear about Bonnie. I did hear about Dick Kenworthy, but not sure of two more that Jeanne has referred to.

I do hope that each of you and your families are doing well and enjoyed a good summer. Time seems to fly by so fast anymore, we need to enjoy every day when possible.

With warm regards,

Hi Bob,
Thank you for sending me the email about Bonnie Adams. Margie Lyle had already sent it to me, I am just so very sad and sorry to hear this horrible news. Bless her heart, she looked so good at the reunion, and it was the first one she had attended. I knew that she has had kidney problems all her life, but thought she was better. I can't believe we've lost four classmates since the reunion...Really sad. Keep me updated...Thanks again, Bob.
Hugs, Twila
----------------------------------------------------------
I fear this will become an ever increasing issue for us. I will lift up a prayer for her.

Bob, I received the information about Bonnie Adams and just couldn't believe it! We were such good friends at Paseo. She was always there to help anyone who needed it. We will be losing a special person.

SAD NEWS from Jeanne Ennis Boyer regarding Bonnie Adams Woods

I have been trying for several weeks to reach Bonnie (Adams) Woods. Her daughter-in-law reached me today....

Bonnie is dying from problems with her heart (congestive issues) and kidney problems. It is not a new problem and she has chosen to do no more invasive proceedures. Hospice estimates she has three to five days to live.

She can not have visitors right now. I am thinking we need to put out the word as soon as it appears in the paper. Can you do that once we know when and where the service will be? I'm thinking of both the site you created and by regular e-mail for those that don't check the site on a regular basis. If you can't then I'll ask Janey.

That's four classmates since the reunion that I'm aware of. Makes me sad.
