Mark and I flew into Chicago on the 17th of December and spent til the following Sunday with Ryan. We went to his company Christmas party and Mark also met with the partners to help them stratigize 2009.
We were also able to go to Cam's (my sister Candi's husband) mom's funeral on Thursday. She passed away the prior Sunday after a long battle with her health, following several mini-strokes. It was a difficult day but also a celebration of Alice's life. Alice is truly one of the dearest ladies I have ever met. Her three children all gave tributes to her at the funeral and Candi's 3 daughters sang Steven Curtis Chapman's song "Home for Christmas". It was truly amazing to be there with this incredible family. Luther was gracious as always...taking everyone from the funeral out for a wonderful lunch. We will pray for you all as you miss your mom this Christmas and in the new year.
