Dear Ownbey Family,
I have updated our webpage on the church website www.mpumc.org/ownbey in all areas, including H&H (leaving out addresses, etc).
HEALTH
1. CAROL D has been on oxygen for almost 8 wks now. Last wk she also called in Hospice. I talked w/Don H this morning -- he said that she is now becoming "confused." Cards (and prayers) are the best thing we can do now. Ann C is taking her soft foods like smoothies and thick soups, and she will let us know if she needs any help.
2. NANCY S had knee replacement surgery last month. She would appreciate cards and prayers. One of her daughters lives w/her + a PT has been working w/her.
3. BARBARA B is waiting for a date to go to Duke for more tests. They still don't know what caused her heart attack last month and continues to cause her overall malaise. Husband .... is enjoying his new role as a pastor in ..... Son .... is doing well this summer, working on a reservation out in OK.
4. You can keep up w/the latest on ELLEN R by going to
5. And don't forget to send cards to ELLEN C and JANE P.
HAPPINESS
1. HARRIETTE and SYDNOR moved out to The Cypress last week. Harriette calls it "paradise."
[keeping their "old" ph # ]
2. BETTY C has moved out to Wilora Lake Lodge, mainly due to her glaucoma. Since the distance to the church from there is rather far (it's near Eastland Mall), and since they offer Sunday services there, Betty has chosen to become a "SS member in absentia." I suggest we keep in contact w/her and offer to bring her to special events we have... IF we can work it out. Don't know her room/phone number yet, but...
3. Speaking of moving... VIRGINIA and WILLARD will be moving to Sharon Towers on Sep 1.
4. TWALA's daughter is getting married in NYC this coming weekend.
5. And if you'd like to see new photos of baby Virginia (my granddaughter), just REPLY to this email, and I'll send you a few new shots. Or ask me on Sunday -- I've finally gotten a phone which has a camera :-) Claire, my sister, was in town (from VA) this past weekend, and we had fun visiting w/Virginia, Amanda, and Jon.
Any other news?
Take care, Reatha - Tue - 3pm
PS: I'll be sending out some info about upcoming class lessons in another email.
