I just wanted you folks to know that Gary Jorden passed away yesterday. He never recovered from the fall at our last class reunion. I don't have any information further than that at this time.

People have many friends during their life but only a few are true friends. Gary was one of these.

Hi Everyone, Just want to say hi to everyone. I have been helping Paige with many things since Richard's unexpected death. She really appreciated everyone who came to the memorial for him. She is having problems with her computer, so I am going to try and help with that today. Hope everyone is staying warm!

Oh boy! I have been helping Ferrell as she recovers from numerous surgeries, back and hips and I tell you what! I am in the remedial class,for nursing. Make me so thankful for all the work tha Ferrell has done for me all these years! But , I am learning fast. We started making chicken spaghetti Monday when I went grocery shopping. Unfortunately, I did not get all the ingredients on the list...so there was a second trip on Tuesday morning. (Still not sure why I bought the Jalapeño) Then boiling the chicken and I was done for the day. Wednesday several hours putting together the casserole together and Tuesday night baking and the finally getting to sit down and eat. not sure all of the work was worth it. Probably could have gotten a premade casserole at the grocery store.
Next Thursday, Ferrell will have the left hip replacement. I gotta tell you, she is much braver than me. Our daughter Leslie is going to be here to help and I know that will help so much.

I just received a call from Larry Smith that our sweet Glenda passed an hour ago. Glenda and Larry have been best friends since they were 12 years old. She has had Parkinson's and her progression went very quickly in the past few months. She knew she was going to be with her parents and her sister Beverly in Heaven.

Glenda will be cremated and their son is out of town for a couple of weeks, so no plans for a service have been made.

Please pray for Larry and his family as they face this tremendous loss.

I have known Larry and Glenda for good while.
I can remember going over to Glenda's house during high school

and of course Larry was there along with her best friend Jackie.
I will miss Glenda's personality and her smile.
prayers and gods blessing go out to Larry and his family
