Frank and Judy Fulkerson had hoped to be able to join us for the 40th Annual Chicagoland Joss Reunion at John and Kathy's home in March. However, further weakened by her cancer, Judy was not up for such a drive from Macomb, IL. Consequently, to stay connected and to affirm fellowship, Norm and Linda and Don and Betty drove to Macomb, IL, on Monday, March 23. They spent some richly rewarding time with Frank and Judy that afternoon and evening. After staying overnight in Macomb, the Hageman's and the Wampach's journeyed on back to their respective homes.
In the middle of April, on our way from our daughter's home in St. Louis, MO, to our daughter's home in River Forest, IL, Chris and I stopped in Macomb, IL, to spend time with Frank and Judy. Once again, they were so welcoming. We spent some quality time together. Judy commented gratefully on all the support she was receiving from family, friends, and neighbors. She showed us the beautiful quilts that she had made and personalized for her children. Frank showed us and spoke proudly about a couple of large family portraits in their home from their family cruise in 2014. A little meal together completed our visit before our departure.
