Dean Jackson, brother in law, in Spokane had a stroke about ten days ago. He died on Wednesday a.m. in his sleep. There is a memorial service on Saturday and I am making a quick trip to Spokane...going on Friday afternoon and coming back to Eugene on Sunday. I would stay longer, but some people in that part of the country are basking in sunny Arizona. I also have a busy week scheduled with a couple of medical appointments and committee meetings.
Olivia Walton, the daughter of Jennifer Jackson Walton, is going to the U of O and she and I will be on the same flights. We will be meeting her Dad in Portland and flying into Spokane together.
Dean has been very affected by dementia for the past 5 years and has been in a care center for at least 1 1/2 years. He was a great brother in law and loveable uncle. Janna when about 3 was sure Uncle Dean would buy her a pair of red shoes and a new tryke. In fact she named a little stuffed owl Uncle Dean.
I need to get ready as I am getting my hair cut in 1 hour. Wish you could send me a piece of funeral cake Bob.
Love, Judy O-
