Family of Frank Jeffreys
03/31/08 17:50
Just
talked with Kathy Donaldson. She is requesting
prayer for the family of a very good friend of
theirs, Frank Jeffreys, who committed suicide
yesterday. Frank's son, Dwight, and David have
been good friends "forever." Frank had been
taking medication following surgery, and they feel
that medication probably caused the
suicidal thoughts.
Thanks for your prayers! In His love, Elaine

Sherry Belew

Sherry
Belew will be having knee replace surgery tomorrow
(Thursday) at ECM hospital in Florence.
Randy Burbank
UPDATE 03/27/2008
Sherry Belew's surgery went great this morning. She will be at ECM Hospital, Room 255 until Monday, and will then go to Glenwood Rehab Center for therapy.
Randy Burbank
UPDATE: 03/28/2008
Bonnie and I visited Sherry in the hospital Friday night. She had a head cold but was it good spirits. She had already walked down the
hall and back, which is utterly amazing to me. Monday, she is to transfer to Glenwood for 10 days of rehab. I suspect she will soon be dancing and praising the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Carla Corsslin
03/20/08 20:59
Please
kick up your prayers a notch or two for Carla
Crosslin of the Moulton Cluster. She had surgery
Monday. They removed one breast, found cancer in
several of her lymph nodes and numerous tumors were
removed from her abdomen. If you'd like to send her a
card, her address is 129 Woodland Terrace, Moulton,
AL 35650. God bless you!
Susan Cosby
UPDATE: 03/24/2008
Here is an update concerning Carla Crosslin. I was mistaken---she had a double mastectomy. Thanks for your prayers!

Susan,
It was great to see y'all the other night. We are sure going to miss our association with the Shoals cluster. Thought I would give you an update on Carla. She had a double mastectomy on Monday and came home on Thursday. The report was not very good. Cancer in both breasts and in 16 out of 17 lymph nodes. They also removed 2 (one 4cm, one 2cm) ovarian tumors from her abdomen, as well
as10 BB size ones. She will have to have a PET scan and brain scan before they start the chemo. Just pray that they turn out okay. Due to the 16 lymph nodes being malignant, the doctors are concerned. They told her the ovarian cancer was the least of her worries. They are concentrating on the breast. If the scans are clear, they will start her on chemo in about 4 weeks. She will take the same type of treatments that Vikki had, followed by 30 radiation treatments to the chest wall. She feels much better physically than she did after the hysterectomy but she is no fool to the pathology report and what she is facing. The cards y'all have sent have been a God send. She remarks about ! them every time I talk to her. She said her mailbox is full everyday!!!!!! I'll keep you posted on her progress but she needs some "big time" lifting up.
Love,
Lynn

Their address is Charles & Evelyn Stiefel, 7206 West 20th Street Lane, Greeley, CO 80634. Thanks, Sue Henry

Bonnie's sister, Zettie, and nephew, Daniel
03/16/08 21:37
Bonnie is asking for
prayer for her sister, Zettie. She fell at work, hit
her head and broke her wrist. When she came to, she
had a large knot on her head and a severely broken
wrist. She has had surgery on the wrist and has pins
and bars holding everything in place.
Bonnie is also asking that everyone pray for her 12 year old nephew, Daniel. His liver is too small to carry out it's functions, and he is on the list for a transplant. Please pray that a doner will be located for him.

Kay
Felton is a member of the Franklin County Cluster.
You may remember her from Walk 250, in which her
husband, John Felton, was the Lay Director. I think
she was the Humble Servant. They moved to Calera
after retirement. Kay has been diagnosed with a form
of non-hodgkins lymphoma. Here is her first reply
after she returned from M. D. Anderson in Houston,
TX. Vic
Hey Everyone, I'm doing O.K. but very tired from so many tests. Thank you for you prayers and concern for John and me. This journey to wellness has shown many large and small miracles because of your prayers and God's mercy. We have decided to pursue treatment in Houston at M. D. Anderson. We are to return to MDA on the 28th to get scheduled for treatment. Please continue to pray and pray.
Love to All, Kay

Several requests from Emily

What a
week!
First and foremost, Larry Moore's mother died suddenly after a heart attack this afternoon. (Annette's mother in law) They are not telling the kids until tomorrow night, so please keep this under your hat. They don't need to find out at school tomorrow. Larry is in Huntsville, and Annette is packing up some clothes to meet him there. Please keep them in your prayers.
Second--My friend, Rene' Passarella Ciarametaro lost her baby yesterday. She was 19 weeks. She went into early labor and had the baby before they could stop it. They are devastated and shocked. Please pray for their whole family--Rene', Dan, Rene's sister Sonya, and grandparents Mary Beth and Tony.
Third--Keep Rhonda Dorin's brother in law in your prayers. He is having tests done on his liver in Memphis.
Thank you and God Bless You!!

Dru Gambrell
03/13/08 20:19
Dru Gambrell slipped and fell down the stairs just
before the beginning of Walk #333. She only fell a
few steps, but very clearly broke her ankle. Leasha
Laster, Nurse Practitioner, was on hand and set her
ankle with cardboard and duct tape for the journey to
the hospital. According to the doctor at the local
hospital, Leasha's action helped avoid serious nerve
damage. Dru was taken on to ECM where she was to to
have surgery Thursday morning, but at this time I do
not have a report on how it went. Keep Dru in your
prayers for her healing. Vic

I'd
love to share the attached photo with all those who
keep me in their prayers. Yesterday was such a
beautiful day! Niece Julie and I were able to
get out and enjoy the sunshine. I think our
smiles tell you what a wonderful time we had!
God is blessing us with so many precious times
together. (Some of you may remember Julie as
the baby we used to bring to church with us.)
Thank you all for your continued prayers for me,
Fred, and our family....Terrye

Please continue to pray for Jerry Stanley. He
continues to be in the CCU unit at ECM
Hospital. He was taken off the respirator
yesterday but continues to be on oxygen and is not
very responsive. Dr.'s are still hoping for
improvements. Initial by-pass surgery was

William Murray

Our son
William has pneumonia and has had it for 2 weeks. He
is still very sick and does not seem to be making
much progress. Please pray for his healing and also
his children, who are passing a high fever virus
around among each other. I ask that you also remember
Jennifer, wife and mother, as she is trying to nurse
all that are sick and also do lots of William's job
at the church with the youth and the praise band.
