thanks for all you do

Floyd, For that very reason, I try to keep the file sizes of these daily messages small. Over time I have learned a few tricks to do that. I have updated all my records with your new email address. Gary
 
 
Update
Hannah Loeb (49)
 
 
From Karen Loeb Mhyre (65): Bellevue, WA
 
Hi Gary,

Just a quick update on our mom, Hannah Loeb. She had surgery on June 2nd and the doctor found stage 4 bowel cancer with metastasis throughout the abdomen. She had an illus which kept her in the hospital until the 17th. We were able to bring her home to my sister Jane’s home in Bothell, WA. Mom, Jane and my other sister, Marianne (Mari) have lived here together since about 1998. They always have a game of scrabble or pinnacle going. Mother watched CNN if it was not too hard on her blood pressure, read books and kept up to date on the world news. She still subscribes to the Turtle Mountain Star.
She was up in her chair yesterday visiting with her grand kids (our brother Tom is married to Brigitte Burridge from Australia). They have 4 kids: Jaimie – age 6, Alex – age 2 1/2, and “twinnies”: Georgette and Christian – 9 months. They are home from Daharan, Saudi Arabia where Tom works in Cardiac Care at the Aramco Hospital. She read her newspapers and cards. Today is is just a bit worn out. She has been sleeping most of the day.
We are so blessed to be able to take care of Mom here in her home. Our area Hospice has wonderful home care support and really have helped us immensely as we begin this journey.
She loved the trip she and I took for the Dunseith School reunion 3 years ago. We were so lucky to attend that gathering.
Take care and be sure to prey for all your loved ones.

Class of 65 Dinner at Dale’s

 

 

Folks, We had a wonderful catered meal at Dale’s. George put out quite a spread. We decided to have this little gathering to get things kick started for the reunion. It was a wonderful event. They had seating set up for 36 and we had one empy space. We have bonded quite well in our more senior days. It’s surprising how age has an affect on all this. I have 15 pictures that Bernadette took the evening of this event. I am posting 8 today. I will be posting the remaining 7 tomorrow. We invited several other class mates to join us for this event at well. Gary
