Bernadette Stokes
Folks,
Bernadette is not doing well. She has slipped into another one of her spells a bit worse that the previous times. This evening she got very depressed asking to speak to her kids. It was the middle of the night for them, so we did not call. Her sister and two nieces, Novie and Edelyn comforted her. Then she got a message. She has now come out of her depression, but needs help to walk. It is also a struggle for her to eat too, getting the food to her mouth. Her words are slurred and she is have difficulty thinking of the words she wants to say. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Novie is sleeping in the Living room with 3 of her kids.

Shelly,
It was such a pleasure meeting you this summer too. You very much remind me of your mother. You for sure do not look your age either, that is for sure.
Hope you had a good birthday.

Message from Leland Hagen (’50):  Bryan, TX 
Dear family friends,
I want to thank everyone for their prayers, get well cards , visits, emails etc, during my stay in the hospital.
I was released on 21 September so I have been home a few days now. I will have physical therapy at home for a few weeks . Laying around as long as I did left me a little weak.  Even though I have only been home 3 days I can tell I’m gaining strength every day. I think the TLC I’m getting from my caregiver is a major factor.
Again let me say
THANKS
Leland
