Big Challenges – a little time off – stay with me

To my readers:

On Sunday evening my oldest son, age 21, was killed in an automobile accident. Life has created one very big challenge. Things have shifted. I'm reaching hard to think through what the next stage of my growth will be like. How I will change. I'll be back to everyone with normal comments probably next week.

Thank you for enjoying my blog. Please stick with me. I'll be back soon.

Alex Hartung – Age 21 – died just prior to midnight September 20 at St. Mary's hospital in Duluth, MN. A mechanical engineering senior at Northern Illinois University, he was participating in a golf tournament in Hayward, WI when the accident happened, then airlifted to Duluth. Services will be Saturday, September 26 at Anderson Funeral Home, DeKalb, IL. Viewing/talking at 11:00am, funeral at 2:00pm, burial to immediately follow about 10 miles east of the funeral home.
