A Quick San Diego Trip

Silas' Uncle Glenn passed away just before Thanksgiving.  We knew it was coming but it's still sad when family and friends pass away.  We were fortunate enough to fly down for the memorial service that Silas' dad, Barry, had arranged.  He did such a wonderful job and I'm so glad we were there to hear all the fun stories about Glenn from family and friends.  Many people came to honor him and it was so great to be part of it!  Uncle Glenn passed away due to complications with diabetes.  As many of you know, I have diabetes and I'm grateful that I am doing all I can at this point to remain healthy! 

On a brighter note...during our quick trip we, OF COURSE, were able to spend some time with Silas' family!  We had a great time even though it was a short visit...but we knew we'd be back in 3 quick weeks for Christmas.

Here are some pictures from the weekend:

The bouquet Silas' work sent for the memorial. So nice.
