OUR CARING COMMUNITY

In our hearts are Cyndi Daman, recovering from foot surgery; Rachel Mejia and family as her brother-in-law, Jorge Ortiz, receives cancer treatment; Joanne Parker, who underwent eye surgery Wednesday; and the Thomas family, as Alison's father remains hospitalized.

We send sympathy to Nick and Natalie Earl as they grieve for Nick's sister, Tiffany Earl Traweek, who died last week; and to Aleluya Mamer, whose family has lost several members due to violence in South Sudan.
