Airfare for a week away being what it is, it’s just me going.
Two funerals were scheduled for my uncle, who had been a three-term Senator: one in the Washington, DC area (I almost, almost… But it just cost too much. JetBlue wanted $1087 one way, Southwest, about $400 per) and one in Salt Lake City.
Here is the text of a lovely talk given in Virginia.
As for the funeral in Salt Lake, that one I get to go to. If you don’t hear from me for a few days here, no worries; I’ll be surrounded by family and making memories for life.

Safe travels, and may the blessing of family help ease your loss.

Like Pegi says, safe travels.
Sorry again for your family’s loss, and that we didn’t overlap in SLC. I would have loved to have been able to give you a (gentle) hug at this time.

Being surrounded by family is the best. I look forward to read about the good times you are able to share upon your return.
