This week I have no pics to post or show! This last week was a hard one for our family! I married into this family of freaks for GOLF! Everyone golfs or owns a GOLF COURSE! My husband's great grandpa is Ernie Schneiter Sr. and his great Uncle is Ernie Schneiter Jr.. They own Riverside Golf Course, and the Bluff! They are a awesome family! Ernie Schneiter Jr, his wife's name is Sue. She happens to be one of my mom's dearest friends. Sue passed away November 13th from a massive stroke. She was only 71. In my life time I can name 3 occasions when I have seen my mother cry. This was when my Grandma Bullen passed away, My Grandpa Bullen passed away and when my little girl Kathryn died.

My mom is a very private person. The funeral was on this last Tuesday. Kory and I got to the Church early because we were helping my mom with the food for the family after the cemetery. My mom asked if I would go with her to talk to Sue's daughters before anyone got there for the viewing. When we walked into the room and my mom saw her daughters, tears ran down her face, she started to shake and then sob. As she cried while Julie hugged her, I heard my mom tell Julie, " I don't have any friends other than my husband and my daughters, but your mom was my best friend and I have just lost my lunch partner." Sue was an extraordinary woman. She was so kind and loving to everyone. I will miss seeing her at my moms house just hanging out, decorating my mom's table's for parties, or just dropping her off from there lunch date. I will miss seeing her at all the family parties, showers, weddings, ect. Most of all I my heart hurts for my mom who has just lost a true friend.

So I guess that what I am trying to say is that I am MOST thankful that I know I will see the ones I love again some day. And most of all to tell my mom that I will be her new lunch partner!
