Message From Courtney - 

A couple of months ago I got a call from my Mom's friend, Barbara.  She had worked for my Mom over ten years ago when she was the supervisor of the word processing center at the Department of Labor and Industries.  Barbara had just heard of my Mom's illness.  She asked if she thought my Mom would be interested in having everyone get together for a surprise dinner.  I told her she would love it!

So, last Thursday night, May 4 - my Mom showed up at Falls Terrace with her friend, Lorie.  She was very surprised to arrive and see the whole Word Processing crew there waiting for her!

Thank you to Barbara for making this happen and for all of the special women who came together that night.

      Courtney---Thank you for your updates on your mom. They help in letting us know how to specifically pray for all of you.

      Kathy---Through Courtney's updates, it is so apparent that you are truly blessed to have such a supporting network of friends and family who love you. And it all stems from how you have been and still are a true blessing to us all, each in its own way. I have been inspired by your courage and strength. If I can do anything to help in any way, please let me know.

      Take Care, Kathy.
