[Vision2020] My Apologies and Condolences

[Art Deco]

I hope all of wish Dan and his family well in this sad time.  It is difficult to lose a loved one, but having to watch a long battle with cancer is especially heart wrenching and draining.

The best to you Dan.

  To Dan "The Area Man" Carscallen for overlooking his recent loss.

  Sometimes we get too involved in the daily grind and overlook the finer
  things that make Moscow a comfortable community.

  Penny Carscallen
  57, Viola

  Penny Sue Musick Carscallen, 57, passed away at St. Joseph Medical Center
  in Lewiston on Saturday, April 10, 2010, surrounded by family after a long
  battle with cancer. A funeral service to celebrate her life will be 1 p.m.
  Thursday, April 15, 2010, at Short's Funeral Chapel with Kathy Kramer
  officiating. Burial will be at the Viola cemetery followed by a reception
  and dinner at the Eagles Lodge in Moscow.

  Penny was born July 10, 1952, in Moscow, Idaho. Her parents are Howard and
  Eloise (Sissy) Gregg Musick of Viola, Idaho. She attended school in
  Moscow, Idaho, and graduated from Moscow High School in 1970. Following
  high school, she attended Moscow Beauty School.

  Penny worked various jobs around the community and finally began working
  at Washington State University until she was later forced to retire due to
  health reasons. She also was a clerk at the Viola Water and Sewer District
  for many years.

  She married Rod Carscallen in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, in December 1975. They
  made their home in Viola, where Rod currently resides.

  Penny enjoyed gardening, canning, cooking, knitting, needlework and she
  definitely loved picking huckleberries! Penny often made delicious mints
  for friends and family when needed for parties or weddings. She also was
  known for making dishcloths for friends and family. She prided herself in
  her "thornless" blackberry patch, and made wonderful jam that she shared
  with others. Penny loved going camping with Rod, friends and family,
  particularly in the Elk River area. She also enjoyed going to as many
  athletic events as she could in support of the numerous children that were
  part of her family, especially her grandchildren.

  She is survived by her husband of 34 years, Rod, and parents Howard and
  Eloise (Sissy) Musick, of Viola; sons Bryan Thompson (Wendy), Dan
  Carscallen (Debby), and Toby Carscallen (Lisa), all of Moscow; sister
  Debby Musick, of Viola; Sisters-in-law and spouses, Diana Renfro (Doug),
  of Clarkston, Betty Nagle (Don) and Janice Palmer (Donovan) of Potlatch;
  six grandchildren Zac, McKenzie, Devin, Sidney, Hayden and Kennedy, whom
  she loved and adored; nephew Buck (Mary) Taggart; great-nephew, Brett; and
  several other nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her
  brother, Denny Musick, father- and mother-in-law, Bill and Louise
  Carscallen, grandparents EC and Mary Musick, and grandmother, Lyla Gregg.

  The family would like to thank everyone for their kind words and support.
  They suggest memorials to be made to the Susan G. Komen, Breast Cancer
  Foundation, P. O. Box 65309, Dallas, TX 75265-0309 or a charity of your
  choice.

  Perhaps each of us should, every now and then take a break from the daily
  race and enjoy what we've got as we . . .

  "Slow Dance"
  By David L. Weatherford

  "Have you ever watched kids
  On a merry-go-round?
  Or listened to the rain
  Slapping on the ground?
  Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
  Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
  You better slow down.
  Don't dance so fast.
  Time is short.
  The music won't last.

  Do you run through each day
  On the fly?
  When you ask "How are you?"
  Do you hear the reply?
  When the day is done
  Do you lie in your bed
  With the next hundred chores
  Running through your head?
  You'd better slow down
  Don't dance so fast.
  Time is short.
  The music won't last.

  Ever told your child,
  We'll do it tomorrow?
  And in your haste,
  Not see his sorrow?
  Ever lost touch,
  Let a good friendship die
  Cause you never had time
  To call and say "Hi"?
  You'd better slow down.
  Don't dance so fast.
  Time is short.
  The music won't last.

  When you run so fast to get somewhere
  You miss half the fun of getting there.
  When you worry and hurry through your day,
  It is like an unopened gift..
  Thrown away.
  Life is not a race.
  Do take it slower
  Hear the music
  Before the song is over."

  Take care, Area Man.
