The mood here has been very sad since Tuesday. That’s when we
found out our friend Colette passed away. She was only 70 years old.
Colette and her husband pulled out of the park a week ago Wednesday
morning driving to Irving, Texas so she could have noninvasive back surgery.
Her back surgery was on Friday. The word is that the doctor wasn’t able to get
it all done in the first surgery so on Monday she was back in surgery. We were
told that during her second surgery her heart stopped and there were complications. Colette was
moved to ICU. On Monday we were told things didn’t look good. Colette died Tuesday
evening.
It's just so surreal. We thought she'd be returning here in a week
or so. Everyone's in shock.
Colette’s family held a memorial service for her on Friday in Irving. Unfortunately that’s 400 miles from here.
Colette and her husband started full-timing this past spring.
We will all miss her.
We spent yesterday in Corpus Christi with our friends Bob and Pauline.
We walked around the mall and had lunch at Golden Coral. We all stuffed
ourselves to the gills!
