Dear Toni and Fred,
We were so sorry to hear of Louise’s passing last Thursday.
What a significant detail that she left for heaven one day after the 15th anniversary of your father’s passing, what a loving sign from your mother!
I feel very privileged to have met all 4 of your parents throughout the years, and most recently saw Louise at Vince and Pel’s reception.
I remember that David and I rode the tractor with Louise and her caregiver from the house down to the tented area.
We all enjoyed the excitement of the unpredictably bumpy ride, everyone was smiling and laughing as we shared that unique moment together as “VIP passengers” headed to the reception!
What a challenging time we are in with the Covid-19 virus - with so many rules for us to keep our distance - when nothing is needed more than to hold someone’s hand at the end.
We know that you both devoted so much towards making sure that Louise was well cared for and happy, especially after she had to leave San Carlos.
Your concern and caring has been an inspiration to us both throughout the years as we continue to look after our own parents on a daily basis.
David and I wanted to include these passages for you to read as you are going through this sad time together.
With our thoughts and prayers,
Hugs from Lori and David XO
Life Is Like A Journey On A Train
Life is like a journey on a train… with its stations… with changes of routes… and with accidents!
At birth we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel on our side.
However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone.
As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of our life.
Many will step down and leave a permanent vacuum.
Others will go so unnoticed that we don’t realize that they vacated their seats!
This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells.
Success consists of having a good relationship with all the passengers…requiring that we give the best of ourselves.
The mystery to everyone is:
We do not know at which station we ourselves will step down.
So, we must live in the best way – love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are.
It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty –
we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.
I wish you a joyful journey for the coming year on the train of life. Reap success and give lots of love.
More importantly, thank God for the journey!
Lastly, I thank you for being one of the passengers on my train!
