What's Happening in Austin

Diva · 06-27-2011, 08:18 AM

Candace wanted me to let Y'all know that her Dad died this morning at 6. She is on her way home now and she may not (will not) have phone service.

No arrangements yet. I'll keep You posted.

Oh No! Janey, if you hear from her, please tell her she is in our thoughts and we send our condolences. We are on board with taking responsibility for a meal when she and her mom get here. Please keep me posted on any arrangements. Tell her love and hugs from us.

The plan right now is to bring her Mom back with her for a couple of weeks. I thought it might be helpful to her......so that she wouldn't have to worry about this, nor would her roomies be shouldered with it, either.

I'll keep You posted in any event....

thank you Diva for letting us know.

course, not living in Austin myself, I wouldnt know how i could help with a meal. but, let me know if donations are needed for this.

Thanks, Ashton, Glynn & durretc.

As I know more about arrangements, I'll keep Y'all posted. She did have a breath to post a little on FB....she might be feeling a little overwhelmed. The "business end" of death is a different type of overwhelmed, to be sure.

Meals will start when they get back, clearly. And will try to coordinate all of this before I leave in a week.

Durrrr...to address Your suggestion....Candace loves pizza! Maybe You could send her a Papa John's pizza (spicy Italian sausage & yellow banana peppers is a favorite of hers) and some Honey Chipotle wings from way over there....from a PJ's close to her, of course!

Let me know what You think of that idea......

That's great. I'm down for helping with a meal as well.

Blush, what a great tool!

We will know more by Friday on whether this will even be needed. After speaking with Candace again, it's sorta up in the air on whether or not her Mom will come back with her. I'll keep You posted.

She's hanging in there....really exhausted. She appreciates everyone's thoughts and prayers so much.
