Posted by in Community Updates, Monthly Newsletter, Newsletter Information, Spring 2015 Newsletter

Now, as spring emerges there’s a refocus to open up the newsletter again, and I’d like to put out a call and invitation for anyone who might feel inclined to assist me in publishing the newsletter. The idea…read more

One of the fun clips were able to extract is John telling us, “you are wonderful!” Ever since I’ve known John, he has always poured out this very loving affirmation to everyone he encounters. John had a minor stroke about a month ago. We are…read more

Carl’s open heart surgery on Friday, October  24, was life saving. Tom, Billy, Ruth, myself and Carl’s daughters all were there when the surgeon came out of the OR and announced that the surgery was a success and that the timing of the surgery was critical. He didn’t know how Carl had made it this far. When…read more
