Soon To Be In The Arms of God

Just like the weather has changed dramatically this week (snow on Monday, 83* today) so has the health of our beloved band director/teacher. The warrior fought a good battle. Sometimes you are called to lay down your weapon and make peace with the beast.   

And so we pray.

Oh, Jodi, I'm so very sorry for you, the other band parents, and the kids. What a tragic loss. He was incredible with what he accomplished with your group. I'm glad that you had a last trip with him and a great marching season.

Now you will have a secret weapon for future contests--a Band Angel.

Hugs and love to you all.

Lin- Our beloved Bob is still on life support. His elderly parents aren't ready to say good-bye, they are clinging to the hope of some miracle. It's so sad!

Lin said...

Oh no. I wish he had slipped quickly and peacefully--for the sake of everyone. Prayers...

Lin-Bob lost his battle with lymphoma this afternoon. He was taken off of life support at 5:30 pm and passed away at 5:50. The kids and assistant directors will have a hard day tomorrow. :-(
