We received a nice thank you note from Paul Staat, and Mary updated us on his status. The Low’s neighbor who suffered brain trauma from an accident did not survive his injuries. Darlene Lorenz is home from the hospital but not feeling well with the medications that she is taking for her infection. Kendall Carpenter’s father who suffered a stroke while in OKC has been moved to a Tulsa hospital. Other concerns were expressed for Lanny Ross and his family as well as the family and friends of Cherl Poppinberger. Prayers were requested for Casey whose father is hospitalized. Others were mentioned out loud and in our thoughts. Please pray for all these, their family and friends.
The South African clan of the Wansley family is in town for 2 weeks as of Sunday, and the rest of the immediate family will be here in Tulsa beginning on Wednesday evening. It’s going to be fun to have them all together under the same roof again.
