Daryl's Dad's Funeral

The flowers were really pretty.
This spray came from Christa's office.

Daryl's Dad passed away early Wednesday morning November 19 in the hospital. It has been a very busy couple of weeks keeping watch over him and trying to maintain some sort of normal life. To make matters worse Christa has been gone on business all month. The funeral was very nice, the minister from the last church in Clovis, New Mexico that Daryl's Dad served as music minister performed the service. It was very special to have someone that knew him and the family so well. He is the Dean of Wayland Baptist University in Clovis now. He gave all of us his latest book, Amos the churchmouse, in memory of our Dad. It is kind of bizarre to wrap your mind around the fact that both of your parents are gone. The realization really hit home at the cemetary. Apparently the grandkids were passing a virus around and different members of the family were sick the morning of the funeral and just before the funeral. We got home and went to bed after an exhausting week and about 4 am Greerson came in and was vomiting. Christa stayed home with him and Daryl went to see his family before they all left. Daryl's Dad, Ladson Worley was born December 24, 1928 and died November 19, 2008. He was quite a man, not only was he musically talented, but he was an avid woodworker, clock repairman and builder and general handyman. He also taught elementary school for several years as well as directed music in several Baptist churches around Texas and New Mexico. His oldest brother A.T. Worley came from Casa Grande, Arizona with his wife Lynn and his youngest brother Bob Worley and wife Jerry came. It also was good to see aunt Betty again, we had just seen her a few weeks ago during Baylor homecoming when her family had a reunion in Waco. Aunt Barbara was there also, we hadnt seen her in several years. It was great to see everyone inspite of the circumstance.

Summer Quilt

a trip around the world quilt

Daryl started a summer quilt in June and finally completed it in November. It was completely done on the machine. Rather than just sit back and watch the election returns he chose to work on quilting. It paid off it was completed shortly after the disastrous news of the presidential race was announced.
