Missing Loved Ones

 

Tim's mother, Gloria Gay Davis Bond, passed away today.  It was expected but still a shock.  Grammy was a beautiful woman and I am so thankful for her raising my husband and for staying faithful in the Church.  She will be greatly missed.  My first thought when we received the news was that she was jitterbugging again.  She was a widow for almost 8 years.

The day before Gloria passed, Carlene Evans passed. I considered her a good friend and enjoyed visits with her and her mother, Loretta Rytkonen.  A heavy burden for Ramah to lose two great women in two days.

We have a new neighbor upstairs that we haven't met yet but I have met her Bengal.  He's on the 2nd story so he sits on the ledge all the time.  He must be able to get up and down, though, because he and Betty have been fighting.  Betty is the West's cat that I watch when they are gone.

Our granddaughter, Kayli, has been having some health issues with her joints and was hospitalized for a few days. They finally diagnosed her with A.N.C.A. Vasculitis--it is an autoimmune disease. It is in it's early stages so they are playing it by ear right now.  She is fifteen and was just valedictorian of her 9th grade class. Luckily, she was able to attend and speak at graduation and go on the camping and river rafting class trip.

We need prayers friends and family.  We're hurting.  Thank you for all the love and prayers already sent in our behalf.  Love you.
