Colorado Springs pictures
My aunt Marylin (Mimi, as she was known to us when we were kids) passed this summer of complications from Alzheimer’s disease. The last time Mimi was at a family event was the family reunion in New Mexico in 2004 (or was it 2002?) Anyway, the last time I saw Mimi was at the Chicago reunion, because we couldn’t make it to New Mexico because of one of our kids being born.
Her memorial was in Colorado Springs at the end of August. Most of us arrived Friday afternoon, and had dinner at Fargo’s, a Colorado Springs favorite spot for many years. Saturday we did some sightseeing, and then attended the memorial service itself where everyone shared stories. Afterwards, we went to the Flying W Ranch, where we ate a chuckwagon dinner and watched their music show. We left Sunday, and others stuck around to sightsee.
Pictures are here.
It was 2002, IN Albuquerque, Ethan was born that same week.
