7/15/2018 Caring Bridge

Journal entry by Joanne Negstad — 10 minutes ago
      During the years I've been travelling to SE Asia, I would bring home silk products, scarves, pillow cases,  table runners, hand bags and other crafts.  It began innocently enough with two or three.  Joanne had so much joy in giving them away that the volume increased significantly.  This year I brought a whole bag full.  But, shortly after I returned, Joanne entered hospice and......   So she didn't finish giving them away.
       After her death I discovered that she had a stash of silk and other crafts accumulated over the years.  I'll not want for hostess gifts for the foreseeable future.  Because Joanne did not finish this task that brought her so much joy I, with a mixture of joy and sadness, will continue the tradition.
      If you would like something from this collection please ask.

Blessings,

Al
