Hi gang, Wanted to thank everyone for praying for me. I had a lump removed form my left arm. They did a biopsy,but I have not got the report back yet. I ask the doctor if it was cancer and he said he didn't think so. Praise GOD for His mercy and love. It good to see new classmates on the web site. Hopely we will see even more. Folks let always keep in tough because where there is unity and love for one another we can see God's blessings. Everyone have a great weekend and remember to thank God for his many blessings. Love to all. Mike

Hello fellow classmates, I recieved the results of my biospy today and it's not cancer. It was a cyst and did cause some of my medical problems. The Doctor is starting me on some meds to get the problem under control. I onlysay thank God for his mercy and grace. A special thank you to you all for your prayers and words of encouragement. Well, I off to work. Once again thanks for everything. Mike

Is this the Donna that had Donna's flowers.My brother used to deliver flowers for her and she called me wanting me to deliver for her once after my brother's death.
I always liked her and she was a very beautiful girl although I have not seen her in years. I am very sorry to hear that and it seems like our class and even after are going to The Great Escape as Angie Holly sent me in a thought provoking song shortly after the death of her brother.
I have lost every member of my immediate family since 2001.My mom died Feb.21st and I think there was something she wanted to tell me that last night but I was told that she was going to recover and be put in a regular room that night and my grand daughter had come from out of town and I told her that I would let her talk since you only have 10 minutes for every one in the ICU and now I will wonder till my time comes what she might have wanted to tell me.
Anyway I hope you all are in good health and I wish someone had told me she was sick because I have been in Maryville a lot recently preparing for my move back home in July.God Bless you all and I know I am not in the clique but it would be nice to know when my old friends are near to passing.

I for got to add that I had in the stangest way got to see Kenneth Fife again and I knew he had terminal cancer.He carried himself bravely and as sick as he was I don't know how he held on as long as he did.
I found out because Kenneth was receiving treatment at the VA Medical Center in Johnson City wher I live right now.
It's strange how you can run into people 30 years after you last seen them just to find out they are dying and don't really want to see hardly anyone.But I will miss Kenneth. Anyone know hqw his sister is doing.

Joyce Rowland Yes, Danny, that is THAT Donna. I had not heard she was sick either, but, I hadn't heard much about her in several years. If anyone has more information please post.

Danny I am sorry for your recent losses. I also do not know what Donna died from. This website is a good way to keep people informed of someone's death but most of the time I only hear someone has been sick after they have died. Seems like we are losing a classmate every month or so. Everyone enjoy the beautiful weather, have a Blessed Easter. Talk to you in a few weeks. China here I come.
