Another member in need of our thoughts and prayers

Most of you probably will not remember Albert (brassyzim ) and his wife Linda they came to a March GTG at the senior center in Vilonia right after Albert joined us. Not long after that it was discovered that Linda had bone cancer and has been fighting it eversince , she has had a terible time with all of the treatments making her ill in many other ways,thats why we have not seen them. This past Thursday Linda went to the hospital for some test's and she was found to have double pnemonia then had a bad reaction to some meds and her bloodpressure dropped so low that the machine she was hooked to wouldn't read it and out she went ,she was unrespouncive ,they put a tube in to keep her breathing on a machine - scary stuff. She has since regained consenceness but is not out of the woods by along shot. I worked with Albert for 3 yrs he and his wife are good people please keep them in your thoughts and prayers .

Prayers said!
Most folks can't fathom what it is like to battle this disease and all of the complications and setbacks that come with treatment. This is my second time around, my Dad 7 years ago and Donna now, so I can relate to what they are going through.
Hang in there, and never give up.
Jeff & Donna

No! Oh I am so sorry to hear this. We were hoping that she was on the road to recovery.
My condolences on the loss of your wife, if there is anything that we can do to help you, please ask.

Our condolences also. It's a terrible disease but more and more people are winning it every day.

Donna--Hang in there. It can be beaten. You know this and you'll beat it again. Terri beat it after losing her mom to it many years ago. We say prayers for yall every day.

Tim and Terri
