Hello, I am back!!
First Welcome, Holly and Kris's friend!!
So glad you two got to meet.

You bring tears to my eyes, Thank you all for such kind and loving gestures.

We got back from the Springfield late Sunday night.

Thursday evening both Steve and I were on the phone with Danny's family and other members of the family.
Wow, that was a pretty rough night...Joyce, oh my gosh, Such devastating news I could barely understand what she was or her sister was saying until about 15 minutes into the calls. Nancy, received the Call first thing in the morning. A message to please call Jamie, Dan's wife.
Nancy wasn't able to tell anyone until she told mom and Joyce. They were on an outing together. Nancy and DH drove to Rockford to tell them in person...They let themselves in Aunti Jeans house and when she and Joyce returned saw the lights on, called the police!! Can't blame them. Anyway, Danny was driving with a friend, Now he has lived in Oregon for all of his Adult life, knows the roads like the back of his hand. The main road was under construction so they decided to detour a back road... It was dark, The accident happened on Wednesday night, He hit a gravel patch and went off a 100 ft cliff, miraculously, the friend somehow got out of the vehicle, climbed the cliff and got to the road to flag down help. He is in ICU, I do not know how he is doing right now.
Knowing, I have lost Carol Bear in a car accident, seemed to comfort them, as I could fully understand everything they are going through...
We are having a memorial "Party" this Sunday. Danny told Jamie, he didn't want a funeral service, didn't want everyone to be around all sad, He wants us to Celebrate his life! So, She is having one at her house and Nancy is having it on Sunday. Today I will be searching my photo's to add.

Friday, we were on the Road to Springfield, Illinois for the Freshmen/Sophomore State Championships.
Wow, what an incredible time...
