A few weeks ago, this forum read and relished an "8 Tuff Miles Trip Report" by Chicagoans. The joys of this family trip with friends to St John were many.
Late last week Chicagoans' husband passed away. I am so glad that he was able to be with his family surrounded by the beauty and warmth of the islands in February. My heart is heavy for this young family's loss, and I wish them comfort and peace.
Edited: An education fund is being established for his son and daughter. If anyone wishes information, please PM me.

Oh my, I too have read many posts by them and was thrilled to see they had this trip recently but sad that he was so ill. I am sure the trip will be a wonderful memory for all of them. So sorry for their loss.
