Sue and I recently had a chance to travel to Florida to attend her father's memorial service. While we were there we also stopped by my sister's place in Clearwater so that Sue and my sister Nancy could meet. We also met my nephew Ronnie's fiance, Samantha, and their baby girl, Elaina. My youngest  nephew, Mitchell, also stopped by to visit. We were only there for a couple of hours but it was a nice time.

We spent most of our time in Mulberry, which is a suburb of Lakeland to tend to family business concenring the recent death of Sue's dad, John. It was a great time to reconnect wiht family and friends alike. I got a chance to meet Sue's brother Tom, and his kids for the first time...real nice family. It was great seeing Sue's sister Lori, husband Gary, and daughter Danielle again. I also met their son Rocky for the first time and his girlfriend, Amanda.

We did get a chance to stop by and visit Sue's mother-in-law (guy's mom), Connie. We took her out for some ice cream. What a sweet little lady. I enjoyed meeting her, that was a treat. 

The service went very well and everyone worked very hard getting John's home in order to rent/sell.

Here's some photos from the week. Enjoy Everybody

It was great being with your family. It was nice seeing how everyone came together to take care of your grandpa's place and the party. I enjoyed myself. You guys have a great family. I had fun meeting your grandma too.
