From Erica

Dear All:

The Krobots are booked at the Residence Inn, located at 1620 SW Westport Dr., in Topeka this Sat & Sun night. It's $119 for one bedroom king suite. Has full kitchen and pull out couch in living room. If this works for you, would love to stay in the same hotel. I had to find a place with a kitchen and extra room since we now have Megan - so I took a little initiative. Hope that's ok.

Going to look for a place in Emporia now for Mon & Tues night. We leave Wed at 6 pm.

Also, will have a rental car for those that need a ride. Looking forward to seeing those that can make it.

Love,
Erica

Dear all,
What would you all think about,  instead of staying in Topeka the entire time,  staying in Emporia for Monday and Tues night?  A Augusta and Jim would like to have a gathering of family after grave side services at their home here.  There are a couple of motels here (Candlewood, a Best Western) that would be more convenient I would think.  There really is little reason to return to Topeka if one thinks about it,  especially immediately thereafter.
Tues to "decompress", and then it sounds like Wed people mostly getting back to their own.
Lynn arrives KC Fri night about 7:30.
Love to all,
Dad,  UR

Mom

 Dear Ones,

 Greetings from Winter Park CO, the "big" condo. Lynn and I and Ashley and Noelle and Addison and Matteo and old and dear friend Robert Dyck and his son Hayden are here. Whoa.

 To be succinct, Mom is struggling in Brewster Place. I've been in close contact with the staff there and Hospice and here are some conclusions;

 While I still don't feel her passing is "imminent", that event is definitely getting closer. She has not eaten any solid food for several days but seems to be getting by with milk shakes and ice cream now and then. For the first time today when the hospice staff visited she was still in her house coat, and she becomes more frail every day or so. The other night her oxygen content dropped to a very low level and heart rate became irregular, but the next morning she was stable and she is stable today.

 As most/many of you know, we are planning a trip to Myrtle Beach for a week the week after next, which is including a visit to see Kristin in Charleston. I am really uncertain as to how to proceed in this endeavor. Even during the last few days while I've been up in Colorado I fully expected to need to return to Topeka and in fact have a dedicated suit case packed to leave at anytime.

 For now, however, we have stayed here in Winter Park, and have kept our own plans consistent. Future plans, however, may need adjustments. This is a sad time, and there are ghosts here in the "Big Condo" of Winter Park, but hear the chatter and squeals and laughter of the Fourth Generation to enjoy this beautiful place makes this transition just a little bit easier...

Love to all,

UR/Dad
