Ida

We're sitting at a marina called Kilkenny Marina (not "Kill Kenny" from South Park) near Richmond Hill, GA. We've decided to hunker down and wait for Ida to pass by.
We have several sounds to cross in our next few days of travel and we don't want to get caught out on open water as the predicted thunderstorms and high winds pass through.
Just wanted everyone to know we're safe.
Thanks to everyone for their sympathy and prayers regarding our recent tragedy.

Osprey Marina

We're gearing up to head out tomorrow. I didn't want to take off without thanking the wonderful crew at Osprey Marina.
We arrived here a week ago Friday and no sooner tied up then we got the call about Daniel. The marina folks said "Don't worry about the boat, go!" So we went.
When we got back, everyone was so nice and supportive, it was great.
Last night we called Mike and Eileen at Scatori's Restaurant. They drove out to the marina and picked us up. We had a pizza at their restaurant, did our shopping next door at Lowe's Foods and then they drove us back. What a great service!
So...Add Osprey Marina to our list of great places to stay on the water. The transient rates are very reasonable, the food at the grill is good, the staff is helpful, the showers are clean, in short, it's a great marina.
See the link on our link list.

Back in SC

We're back in SC, at Osprey Marina, resting a recuperating from the events of this week. We drove down yesterday as far as NC, caught a few hours sleep in a motel, then drove the rest of the way this morning.
We are planning a grocery trip this afternoon, another day of rest and reorganization tomorrow, then head out on Monday.
Our thanks go out to the nearly 100 people who attended the services on Thursday, and to all the folks who called or mailed their sympathy.
Bev is still a bit numb from the whole thing, but I think she will heal eventually.

Correction

Visitation will be 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Daniel, arrangements

Services for Daniel will be as follows:

Visitation will be this Thursday, October 29, 2009 from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.at the Peter Kubaska & Son Funeral Home, 33 Harris Ave. Woonsocket RI 02895. (401) 762-0220

Visitation will be followed by a memorial service at Franklin Country Club, 672 East Central St. (Rte 140) Franklin, MA, 02038. (508) 528-6110

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the trust fund for Kehlenn and McKenzie. Make checks payable to Patricia Lawrence, 160 Main St, #1, Blackstone MA, 01504. Write "In trust for Kahlenn and McKenzie Fowers" in the memo line.

Daniel

Those of you who follow on the Yahoo list already know, but others may not have the word yet. Today, at about 3:00 PM we received a phone call that Daniel, Bev's youngest son, had passed away suddenly. He was only 24. We think it was a heart attack, possibly caused by his diabetes.
Daniel leaves behind, in addition to his grieving mother, a fiance, Faith, and two lovely daughters, Kahlenn and McKenzie, and two brothers, Matt and Ben.
You will not be hearing much from us for a week or so. We are leaving the boat in SC, renting a car and driving to MA tomorrow. Our trip south is on hold for a while.
