Dad's funeral is scheduled for Friday, 10:30 at the Belmont Mennonite Church in Elkhart, Indiana. As far as I know, we'll be traveling out on Thursday. If we can keep it together emotionally, our family may do a special number.

Carolyn seems to be coming down with a cold, so I hope THAT is not going to be raging through the family--I don't wish to spread things to others at the funeral.

Loren is up to Mayo. He had been scheduled weeks ago to decrease one of his meds and then have a follow-up biopsy to make sure that decrease wasn't allowing any rejection. He'll be home tomorrow evening.

We would appreciate your prayers for:
-a zero rejection biopsy for Loren
-that the whole family won't be getting sick just now
-safety for him coming back from Rochester tomorrow, and for us as we travel out to Indiana in a couple of days
-all the getting ready for 10 people to go on a trip
-just getting through it all
-my mom, my brother Doug and sister Nancy who are right there and are dealing with things I don't have to

Yesterday was really tough. I woke up planning to go to church, read my brother's email and pretty much turned into a basket case for the rest of the day. But that part is over. I am thankful Dad isn't suffering.
