To Family and Friends February 9, 2016

I am making it through by the grace of God and the shoulders of those who surrounded me at the hospital, the days with family during the hardest of times, the compassion of the funeral home, all the guiding hands of our church friends in creating a service Ralph would have approved and friends from near and far reaching out to say hello; It has all helped.

I love Ralph Marion, my husband, my best friend, my consummate supporter, but I realize how many others loved him too.

I am in the condo & plan to walk the dog several times a day.

One day at a time is all I can promise.

Abundant, most gracious thank you’s.

Love, Jan Marion

BITSYLAND BAND

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19TH 4:00 SUN PORCH Bitsyland was organized in the late summer of 2006, evolving from jam sessions at Bitsy Grant Tennis Park (hence the name). In our early years we were known as The Bitsyland String Band, but later shortened the name to Bitsyland. We love bringing music and laughter to all kinds of audiences and keeping the tradition of Old Time Music and family-friendly entertainment alive. 2015 was our busiest year, with 52 performance dates.

45 Years

There is just one week until Kate Mercer's 45th wedding anniversary and the planning for the party is going well. But then a letter arrives for her husband. The body of his first love has been discovered, frozen and pre-served in the icy glaciers of the Swiss Alps. By the time the party is upon them, five days later, there may not be a marriage left to celebrate.
