Sorry to hear of that, but glad that the doctors were able to treat her successfully.  Praying for Jerry, Cindy and the family.

Jerry Foote

Thanks for the kind thoughts and prayers. Cindy is home and doing well, it was scary for a few days, but 3procedures later the clot was nullified. Still has several small clots in her longs but the Dr. Thinks the blood thinners will treat them effectively. We need to take it slow and monitor her closely. Thank God we made to Lincoln when we did, the outcome could have been tragically different....JF

Janet Browne (Rose)

Thanks for letting us know she is recovering from that scare.  A blessing in this Thanksgiving season.  

Barb Franz (Meyer)

Mary McKinney (Kommers)

Totally agree with Janet...Cindy's improvement provides great reasons for an extra wonderful Thanksgiving...give her our best!

Martha Rivero (Helton)

What wonderful news that Cindy is home. Such a blessing...

Patrick and I had the pleasure of visiting Jeff Ayers and his wife, Vicki, in Georgia last week. It was such a great visit! We haven't seen Jeff in years and yet in our two hour visit we never stopped talking! It was a delight to finally get to meet Vicki! If I can figure out how to add a photo to this, I'll give you a glimpse of Jeffrey today.  He looke exactly the same, and still has that quick humor, by the way. 

Mary McKinney (Kommers)

Lucky you, Mary Louise...hope you told Jeff "hi" from all of us!

Martha Rivero (Helton)

Hey Lady,

how wonderful you spent time with Jeff ...I bet it was hours of none stop catching up...you both look great...  love it  wish I had been there ❤️

Jeff Ayers

Seeing Pat and Mary Louise was the happiest surprise anyone could have!! We talked nonstop, laughed and ran out of time way too quickly. Vicki and I will cherish the experience forever!!!!  My very best to all the friends of the KHS Class of 1969 as well!!

Sorry to hear of Doug's passing.  One of those people who made the most of the situation he had to endure. Rest in Peace.

RIP Doug.

His fight was inspirational.  His art was beautiful.  His spirit is now eternal.

John Wolf

It's sad to hear about Doug.  While we knew that this could eventually happen, it's hard to say goodbye to a good friend and classmate.  We will always miss him!

The Rowdies will be having their annual get together on Saturday Feb 22 for the last home basketball game. The '70 class will host a pre-game party at Central Auto Electric (thanks Dan Cavanee) at 5:30 pm (byob) with some finger food. They will then take vans to the game. If you can't make it then, you can meet up with them at the game and then go back to CAE to celebrate after the game. EVERYONE IS WELCOME AND BRING ANY "OLD" ROWDIES WITH YOU!!! See you there!

Douglas M. Thunberg (68), beloved brother and friend passed away in Colorado Springs on February 6th, 2020 to find eternal peace.

Doug was born on September 20, 1951 in Kearney, NE; graduated from Kearney High School (NE) in 1969; graduated from the University of Nebraska; and worked at the NE Department of Roads (Lincoln) Materials Research Chemistry Lab until his tragic bicycle accident in 1980 that resulted in a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Despite the physical difficulties caused by his TBI, he continued to participate in community activities, painting and outdoor adventures for the disabled. Doug remained a strong, friendly, resilient and deeply faithful servant to the Lord to the end. His smile, humor and kindness will be sorely missed.

Doug was preceded in death by parents, Oscar and Lynn (Griffis) Thunberg. Doug is survived by his brother, Larry (Deborah) Thunberg, his sister, Lisa (Troy) Rice and his niece, Sophie Thunberg.

A memorial service to celebrate Doug's life will be held at 3 PM on Saturday, March 14th at Sunnyside Christian Church, 2025 N. Murray Blvd, Colorado Springs Colorado, 80915.

In lieu of flowers, friends may make memorial donations to Sunnyside Christian Church online at: https://www.sunnysidechristian.com/

i just emailed Doug's siblings (Lisa & Larry) to let them know that I can't attend Doug's service on the 14th.  Kathy & I will be in Israel at that time.  I informed them that I was taking a photo of Doug's painting (Dune Modulations) that has hung in my office for 10 years.

Doug's life was not filled with joyous "road trips" like many of us have enjoyed over the years.  His spirit will be going with me to the Holy Land.  That's kind of a silly notion on my part - Doug's already there.

Our condolences to Dougs family, we pray that Gods mighty love comforts them and gives them strength. It is so heartbreaking to hear this. May Gods peace and presence surround them all.

Condolences to Betty, hope everyone is staying safe, and "sane"! Mole, hope you have made it back safely from Israel. TAKE CARE EVERYONE!

Bob Elliott

Happy Birthday Brownie.  The "World's Greatest Grandpa" must stay at home and stream old movies.  Strange times.

Randy Brown

Thanks Mole and others for B Day reminder. Keep your distance and have a beer for me !
