RIP - Ed Meyer

My apologies for the delay in posting this! My computer crashed and I just finished restoring everything last Saturday....

Kathy Meyer's husband, Ed, passed away on 23 Jun 2015 just two days after his 79th birthday.

Ed was a caring husband to Kathy and a loving father to his children: Steve (Katie), Tom, Lori (Rob) Larson, Cindy and Melissa.

He is survived by Kathy, all of his children and grandchildren: Alyssa (Steve & Katie,) Shelbie (Tom,) Michael & Emily (Lori and Rob,) Tabitha and daughter Arabella and Aaron (Cindy.)

A Mass of Christian Burial was held at St Anne's Catholic Church at noon on 27, June 2015 and was followed by full military honors.

Kathy has said that she will be giving a part of the memorials to help establish a kidney dialysis clinic in Kenosha, The doctor who helped Ed will be creating an endowment in Ed's name. Please contact Kathy for more information on making a donation to the endowment.

I hope you will all take a moment to honor his memory.

2015 Family Picnic

Just a few shots of the picnic... Upper left is our host: Pam (Sue) Heath. She is the driving force behind this picnic. Thank you so much for all your efforts, Sue.

Phil Rosson organized a great game of waterslide kickball. The kids had a blast. The bases were pools and there were tarps for the runners to slide on. If you were in a pool, you were "safe". My car thermometer read 95 when I left. That could explain why so many of the kids didn't want to run to the next base.

And lastly, just a crowd shot. Good food, good company and a really great time seeing relatives.

Great job again, Pam! Let's do this again next year! If you didn't make it this year, join us next year... Set a reminder - it's always the first Sunday in August. Contact me with any questions.
