Hi Gary,
I realize how debilitating those diseases are, my dad had both of them. He passed away before he lost all his memory. It was good that he still was able to recognize us. I remember when he was hospitalized, I went to see him I asked him who I was, he sh oak his finger at me and said, I don’t remember your name, but you ll always be my daughter. I will never forget that, I love him and I still think of him a lot. I think he passed away not long after. He was born 10/27/1917 passed into the hands of our Lord 2/27/2005. He was a good person. The nurses and doctors all liked him, he was a good patient.
The last few times Shirley was home her whole demeanor was different along with repeating things over and over. Once I said to her you already told me that and she said I know , I just thought that if I keep saying it I will remember it better.
I realize what you are going through, and I pray that Bernadette doesn’t have such a hard time. I pray for you too Gary, so you can be strong for Bernadette, the wonderful lady you fell in love with and married. You found a lovely lady with a heart soooo big! Who loves you so much. Just being around you two the few short times I could see that love you have for each other.
Take care of yourselves. My prayers are with you both
Ginger

Thank you Ginger for the nice warm compliments.
Benefit for Henry Boschert, Grandson of Patty (Fassett) SjuePosting from Paula Fassett (’71): White Bear Lake, MN
Hi Gary:
As you know – I’ve tried and failed to forward a FB message to you regarding a benefit bake sale that was held in Minot on Tues, June 23rd. It may or may not be attached, if not here’s the scoop: It was a benefit for Henry Boschert, who is about 2 yrs old. He is the son of Brian and Andrea Boschert of Glenburn, ND. Andrea is the daughter of Patty (Fassett) Sjue and the late Dr. Perry Nermoe. Her grand parents are Darrel and Dorothy Fassett. Baby Henry was diagnosed with cardio facio cutaneous syndrome (CFC) in October 2014. It is a rare genetic condition affecting less than 400 people worldwide. Because of his condition, Henry has global developmental delays, seizures and depends on a feeding tube for all of his nutrition. An international conference will be held in Seattle this coming July. Henry and his family would like to attend to network and to learn more about his condition.
The bake sale was held to help raise money to help the Boschert family attend the trip and learn more about CFC and interact with other families who are experiencing it also. If anyone would care to contribute, donations can be sent to Andrea Boschert at 7561 24th Avenue NW, Glenburn, ND 58740.
Thank-you!
Paula I. Fassett

Folks, This is a picture of DwightLang when he was visiting in Russia several years ago. Dwight has a home in Tucson and Lake Metigoshe. He spends his summers up at Lake Metigoshe. I know he’s a golfer. Not sure if he’s made pro status yet though. That’s something he may still be working on. I know one thing for sure though, and that is the fact that Dwight has developed excellent computer skills. Gary
