This has been a sad week for us. Our neighbor across the street Barbara and her friend Bill had come up last week from Vero (they live in his condo on the beach in Vero) to stay in Barb's house. Bill suddenly became ill after dinner and was taken to the hospital here in Sebastian. Barb called us last Wednesday morning to tell us that Bill had died - Bill was 96 years old, but you would never know it.
Barb and I drove down in her car and Mike followed in ours to help her move her things out of the condo and back up to her house. Barb and Bill had been together for 10 years and had lived most of the time at his condo. They had us over for dinner at the condo last December and had a great time.
This morning Mike and I went to Bill's funeral in Vero. His son and two daughters and grandchildren were there. A son-in-law had taken their family photos and made a slide show for the service. It was really nice to see photos of Bill and his family as they all grew up and grew older.
We did have some good news this week when I found out that my Florida Pioneer Descendants application and documentation had been assigned and sent to the first reviewer. Once he is through examining it, he will forward everything to the second reviewer and he will be the one to contact me to let me know if it's approved or if more info is needed.
