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.

Dear Ownbey Family,
I wrote to Ellen to see how she'a doing since her pacemaker replacement.  Here's her response.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Better.  Sad to say, I fainted 5 days later and cracked my skull w/much blood.
Three days in hospital and every test known to man.  I am now able to go out, but my endurance is poor.
No, I don't need anything, thank you.  I hope to be back in SS in 2 weeks.
Thanks for checking.  I knew my hard head would stand me in good stead.
Hugs to all.
Ellen

And I'm sure most of you have heard by now that MICHAEL NORTON died yest'y.
The obit should be in Friday's paper.  His service will be at 3:00, Saturday.
For those of you who didin't know Michael, you may recall the article in THE CORNERSTONE
the other month, saying that the lobby in the new Moore Place will be named for him.
Anything else?
Peace,

Ownbey H&H Report From: Reatha Andrew Sent: Sat 1/2/2010 5:06 PM Subject: Ownbey H&H Report Dear Ownbey Family, Got this message from ELLEN CHASON... -------------------------------------------------------------- I will not be in class this Sunday. Pacemaker being replaced Tuesday. Doctor wanted to do it Dec. 23, but I told him I was leaving town. I am now so exhausted all the time that it is difficult to walk to the dining room. I'll be so glad to get it fixed and feel like a "real person" AGAIN! Happy New Year to all. Ellen _________________________________________ Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Called Twala today. She didn't need errands run. Daughter had borrowed her car to go down to the coast to visit some friends but was returning later today. She flies back to NY tomorrow. OH - one thing: Twala would like to find a home for her part-wild kitty. She thinks that she would make a good barn cat. I'm gonna check w/some friends in Troutman who live out in the country, but if any of you have other contacts, just let me know! Any other news? Hope to see you in the morning when DON HAMMER leads our lesson. Be sure to bundle up!!! Reatha - Sat - 6pm
