A little sad new to start my report past members Craig and Sandie Viau lost their
grandson Anthony this month. He was 21 and passed away September 5 after a long
battle with cancer. Several couples from the club attended the services, Anthony
sounded like a wonderful young man and will be dearly missed by friends and family.
Joyce sent us some news about she and Ed. Ed took around ambulance ride to Clovis
Community suffering from a severe urinary tract infection. Spent a week in the hospital,
then got another ambulance ride to Horizon Health. He will be there doing physical
therapy trying to get his strength back to be able to walk again. Joyce’s return of bladder
cancer was not welcome news, has had surgery again and will be receiving 6 weeks of
immunotherapy. Please keep them in your prayers.
We also received an update on Dave Dawson. Lupe called to let us know that after Dave
is now in rehab after suffering what they thought was a seizure and ended up being
problem with his heart. He had a pacemaker implanted and although he is weak the
pacemaker seems to be helping. Dave’s son has been helping Lupe with Dave’s care. She
wanted to Thank everyone all for the cards and phone calls, your thoughts and prayers
are greatly appreciated.
Steve and Lydia spent the last month on a wonderful vacation. They spent 4 days in Rome
then jumped on a cruise ship for 7 days, then flew to Venice, then jumped on another
cruise ship for 12 days. In total they will be vacationing for 30 days, what a wonderful
memory to share. We’ll all be anxious to hear all about it when they get back.
Chuck and Sharon visited with Steve and Lydia at the annual ‘Fig Gig’ an outdoor venue
with music and dancing. And remarked about how well they can dance. They also saw
Paula Fam while there and danced with her. Reminisced about visiting with Freddy and
Paula in past years and how it was nice to see her there with in the same place with
friends. She told them she was just back from Virginia, visiting her son and daughter-inlaw
and her miracle grandson who is now 2 years old.
Lee and Holly Baumgarten has just returned from a 3 ½ month trip to northern Idaho.
They had been house sitting for Lee’s brother Earl who has been on a dream fishing trip
with friends through Canada and Alaska. He said it was good to be home!
