It has been a difficult month for some of our members, please remember to keep them in your
prayers.
Leigh Ann Severance lost her brother very suddenly this month.
Our dear friend Roy Whitson passed away on November 28 th . He had been having issues for
some months now although you would never know it. He always had a smile on his face and
never complained about anything. He began feeling ill again and was admitted on Halloween
and had surgery a few days later for a blockage in his colon and received a colostomy. The
colostomy had to be revised and was unresponsive. He started talking a bit and was even able to
watch a little football. He seemed to be getting better although it would be a long road to
recovery. He took a turn for the worse and had to be connected back to all the tubes and
machines. Roy requested to be taken off life support. Please keep Mary Ann in your prayers.
Dave Dawson is having in-home Hospice care. He’s not eating well and doesn’t have the strength
to get up and when he does his blood pressure plummets. The Garrahan’s, Laningham’s and
Keith and I made a trip to Merced earlier this month to visit with Dave and Lupe. He enjoyed the
visit. Lupe’s sister Pat is here from Michigan helping out. She is a blessing. Let Lupe know you are
thinking of her and Dave.
Ed Kroeker is still at the group care facility near their home, he has his good and bad days. Some
days better than others but enjoys visits from Joyce and the family.
Good News for Joyce Kroeker she has finished her six bladder cancer treatments. She is feeling
fine and doesn’t have to return to the doctor for 6 months. Yea!!
Steve and Lydia Garcia shared with us that they became Grandparents for the 14 th time. Their
youngest daughter had her second child on November 16 th , a little boy; 8 lbs. 12 oz. His name is
Tavita Setafano Lakatani which translate to David Steven Lakataini. So happy for all.
Our friends and members Art and Nancy White are finally home from their big sailing trip with
1800 miles behind them. Looking forward to seeing family and friends and sharing stories of
their adventure at our Christmas Party. Can’t wait to hear all about it.
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving with Family and Friends. The Christmas season is upon us
and everyone is busy but take a moment to remember the Reason for the Season.
Blessings to all, Your Sunshine Girl, Debbie G.
