My Dearest friends,

I can't believe it's been exactlly a month since I posted and no one else has posted since. There's so many things I want to hear about. How is Whitney? Is she growing, is Katherine feeling better since the birth, etc. etc.? How are the cruisers? How was N.Y.C. How much fun did you have? Are you all alive?

There are so many things I want to tell you. So I'll begin. About 10 days ago, my friend called and wanted to talk to Dad. He and Fred are her home teachers. She needed a blessing. Dad called Fred. the H.P. Group Leader and about 3 other guys to go over. He was so frustrared and finally called her back and she said she'd check on her sons. She thought she had pnumonia. Her son took her to the hospital and with another son they administered to her. I've never seen Dad so shook up. He cried. He since found out from Jeff that he could hace annointed and blessed. He would just have to have me with him. After they got her into Emergency, and examined her which took 2 or 3 days. They found she had lung cancer and it had travelled to her bones and broke a femur. To make a long story short, they were going to transfer her to a hospice care center, but they couldn's do it until they got rid of the bowell stoppage. Any way, dad and Fred got over to see her yesterday. She was glad to see them. Also a member to the Stake Presidency was there along with his wife. The Church sure cares about each member, as does the Lord. Jeff called today about in tears. They had transferred about 14 men down to Tucson.
Several were from his department. One was the man that did those name signs for Jill, Cory and me. He was going to start on Joel's next and then Jeff's. So I just said we'd have to pray about it and see if we can get a replacement. Jeff got an award for having the most productive operation in the prison system. Got to quit now. Bill O'Reilly is on and our home teachers are coming tonight. Love ibmom and gma
