A Fall Cross-Country Adventure Ends Tragically…

Dale and Lavonne; When I read this, I cried through it as I read it aloud to my husband, as I also keep him in the loop of your travels. We are so sorry that this happened to you both, and of course, Cecil. The picture of you giving it a final hug and kiss really got to me! We both though, are glad that neither one of you got hurt, and so sorry this happened to you both, as I feel connected to you through your comic comments and your travel log.
May your faith get the both of you beyond this tragedy.
When I saw the picture of Israel, it struck me how much he looks like my cousin. Same colored beard and the heavy black rimmed glasses. A doppleganger, as they say.
Sincerely,
Sandy and Jim Aerts (crash3289)
Hi Sandy and Jim –
Thanks for the visit. Wow. It has been a week of profound tragedy and sorrow, that’s for sure. I appreciate your comments; it sounds like you folks really have some understanding of our sorrow. The sad truth is that I’ll replace Cecil, and we’ll move on and get passed this awful time. Those young sons will never have their daddy. Their momma will never hold the father of her children again. That’s what we may never get over. But life moves on – I was back on Arcamax Comics again and I am back home. Things are getting back to normal. Thanks again for your kind words.
Dale
Dale – Thank you for chronicling your travels. I always enjoy reading them. Your detail about the accident is probably a good way for you and others to process what happened. I’m certain that you were in God’s hands at that moment, and a man with a beautiful family and a name like Israel, was hopefully taken by angels immediately into God’s arms.
I’m glad you’re home safe, and I’m glad we were able to get to you so quickly.
Love you!
Nancy
Hi Nancy, and thanks for the comforting words. Most of all, thanks to you and Allen for dropping everything and coming to our aid. We didn’t think at the time that you needed to drop everything for us, but as it turned out, we never would have gotten through this without your very capable help. Now… I have to get a new Cecil the Diesel to continue our visits! Thanks again for the visit.
Dale
