R.I.P. Sherill!
This morning I was taking a shower and had just wrapped a towel around myself when Fred walked in with the phone and told me there was an important phone call for me. I took the phone and a man said, “Hello, Denise! I’m Officer Seigler from the King City Police. I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but your sister died this morning.” When I hung up, I told Fred and he burst into tears. The whole family met at the rehab center and sat with Sherill’s body until the undertaker came to take her away. We were all in shock. It has been a rough day, but I want to dedicate the rest of this post to Sherill’s memory. Continue reading
Back in touch!
I arrived safe and sound in Oregon on Tuesday evening. Sherill and Fred don’t have a computer, so I brought an old hotspot with me and got a new SIM card on Thursday.

Urgent prayer request

Dad’s birthday
My father turned 90 on June 25th, but he had a big bash on the 24th. I had known about this in advance, of course, but I was having trouble finding tickets I could afford. Dad helped me get there for which I am grateful. Here are some pics from my trip… Continue reading
I feel good!
I have been sick with a bad cold which I caught from Mark who caught it from Jamey last week. Today was the first day I felt well enough to leave the house. Continue reading
