Motor-accident and involvement

Last week I got the message that my cousin John de Vries died in a motor-accident at Florida. His wife, Kathy has broken ribs and she is bruised beyond recognition. The scalp was also very bad. She is in great pain. Before John emigrated to America, I played with him at the big farm of his parents in Frysland. John's brothers and sister, my cousins, are living everywhere in the States. 56 years old and his life is over. One thing is certain in life; it will end here on earth, but we don't know how and when. But I am prepared for that moment, to change tempory into enternity with my Creator.
I still don't know the details. I heard the service would be at saterday and some cousins from Canada would go there also. Cousin Josie mailed the next:
"Several Brothers and Sisters decided to make plans to go to Florida for a funeral service. Bill and Ann were already in Florida at their time-share enjoying a short vacation together .On Thursday night John and Luke and Sam along with Grace and Hilda alsotraveled together to be in Fort Myers for a Memorial Service on Saturday. Brother Ted called and indicated he wanted to be at the memorial service. I could give my time and go for a very quick trip. I should just bite the bullet and go with Ted. We were still able to get some airline tickets and indeed I did go. We left Friday morning and came home Sunday afternoon. It was a quick trip, but I felt I had done all I could.It was good to see the family in the States and to be in their presence."

Charlotte Glorie is a blind young lady and gives performances 60 times a year. In congrescentra and small theatres, etc. She likes it to approach with sharp remarks no obvious thinking and feelings and behaviour of herself and other people. When singing, Charlotte played the piano also. And she shared a lot of anecdotes with us; the Protestant Christian Leage of Seniors at Harderwijk. Charlotte teached us also to prevent bitterness by humor. We heard that only 3% of the blind people have a guide dog.
