The Cowboys Go Home

BJ Newland, Aunt Betsy, their grandmother and Travis Newland.


Pictured from left to right, bottom row: BJ Newland, Christon and Harrison, and Travis Newland. Back row: September, Travis and Jordan. The Newland brothers are the kids and Laura's cousin's from Utah. They are as close as if they grew up together but they grew up in Utah and our kids here in Brunswick. Aunt Betsy is their grandmother. They will all fly home this afternoon. It has been wonderful to have them in town as we all go through the tragic loss of our Laura. Roger, Lori, Tara and her little ones, Angie and her son Andrew, and Farrel's nephews, Brett and Kenny Goodrich all left going to their homes yesterday. Farrel's sister and husband, Carolyn and Jay are here till Wednesday. It's been a blessing to have them here. I hate to see them go, but go they must, because for all of us, life goes on....

You know, when someone dies it is terrible, but at the same time getting to see all the family can be so fun. It's like a family reunion for all the wrong reasons. That is what my mom told me when her grandfather passes away. It helps to have them around at this time! And life, unfortunately, does have to go on.

Well I tried to get them cowboys hooked up with a southern belle but it just didn't work out. It's still hard for me to tell them apart, I think I was sitting by B.J. @ the post funeral luncheon.
And I think Travis is slightly bigger physically. Am I right???
Yes it was good to see everyone.
