OUR CARING COMMUNITY
We share joy with Rusty and John Jaggers as they continue to celebrate and enjoy their granddaughter Madeleine Jordan Fountain (Maddy), born to daughter Lindsay and son-in-law John Dec. 20.
Gerry and Michelle Perkus remain in our hearts and prayers as Gerry continues in-home hospice care. Card and calls are most welcome.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Charles Koetting, Kathy Lawrence, and Calvin Almquist, who continue to deal with serious health challenges. We also hold close Lu Gaston as she prepares for surgery, Peter Schaar as he recovers from surgery, Ellen Fleming Hughes' mother in hospice care in Tennessee, and Valerie Milner and family as she undergoes a bone marrow transplant.
