Jannea's passing

 She had such a great gathering in Vernal right after we left to come home. It was her 81st Birthday, two great grand children graduated from High School, AND her son in law Gary Galley had a big retirement party. All her kids were there. She had a sick spell, but nothing was found. Then, within a matter of days she was gone! Her kidneys failed, infections set in and affected her brain, she had shingles. It is so sad, and Joe is beside himself with grief.
