We have lots of folks volunteering to pick people up at the airport, etc. So if you are thinking about coming down please let us know if you would need a ride and send your flight info in an email to me chip@dicomo.net....
If there is anything else we could do to help you be there for Trish, please let me know. I don't want something silly that we could solve to prevent family or friend from being there for Trish. I want to fill the church, I want the funeral home to complain that there are too many flowers. I don't want anyone who wants to say goodbye to miss the opportunity. If you let us know you are coming we will make sure you know of any family events so you are not fending for yourself between the ceremonies. Trish and I always take great pride in our ability to make our guests feel at home and comfortable -- while we may never open up that Bed and Breakfast now -- I owe it to her to be sure everyone is cared for and no one is blocked from being there to say goodbye.
A note from the road.... My brother and I are driving Trish's van home from Maryland (as I type Phil is driving). It is fully loaded with 10 months full of stuff. We stopped at Cracker Barrel for dinner/lunch just south of DC and I ordered meatloaf. It came with three side dishes. You have to have mashed potatoes with meatloaf, I like corn so that was my seocnd choice. I knew Trish would be mad at me. I've always thought of corn as a vegetable. She reminds me everytime that it is technically a starch. So to balance the dirty look I got from her, I ordered carrots as my third side dish. We will drive to Savannah, Georgia tonight. We expect to get there around midnight. We'll sleep and start out again in the morning.

Travel safe, my friend. You have a new angel watching over you, and your wife is already planning the meal for your reunion.
