Sad News
It is with deep sorrow that we, Alice's family, have to give you the sad news that Alice went to be with her Lord on Saturday evening, January 10th, around 6pm.
After a "good day", her carotid artery burst and she passed quickly. Jack was with her and was able to quickly tell her that we who remain behind will be okay and that she knows she would soon be with her Lord and dear husband, Ed. She was able to nod her head in acknowledgment but soon faded away.
Funeral details are pending and will be posted on the blog.
Thank you for all your prayers over the years. She was an amazing servant of the Lord and a wonderful mother and grandmother and friend.

Happy New Year
We had two Christmas celebrations! The first one was at Mark and Sandy's house. We had a delightful Chinese dinner from The Great Wall. I, of course, could only imagine how the different items tasted. But we had a delightful time. The second celebration was on January 3rd--the only time everyone could be together. It was a rollicking good time. We all laughed so hard as Drew joined Nick singing soprano on "O Holy Night." We didn't know of Drew's considerable talent!
I had finished my last infusion and was feeling pretty good. This last round was herbal and not chemical. The doctor said that that was all they can do for me here in Elgin. The next possibility is anther experimental program that the University of Chicago is offering if I qualify. If not, we will just have to let nature take its course. I still know I'm in God's hands. Whatever His plan He has for me is what I want. I am trying to use my best moments to write the sequel to Do Not Go, My Love. It's coming along better now. At first it was a hopeless bunch of slips of paper with notes, often not dated!
A great big praise is that Ruth's procedure on her mito-valve went very well. We praise the Lord for that and are thankful for the many prayers on her behalf.
