The New Year 2006

The holidays are now history and this year was full of joy and tears. Lynette's sister, Patrice, was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and is not expected to last long. She is presently admitted to Cook County Hospital. We're all praying for her to have a safe and peaceful journey. Lynette and her children were not able to be with us in Galesburg for Christmas. We pray our good Lord will wrap His arms around them and the entire family as they go through this difficult time.

Our Aunt Edwina Cherrington died after a lenghty battle of cancer. Her funeral will be Thursday, January 5 at St. Monica's Catholic Church in San Francisco. Again our prayers are with Uncle Bill, Tanya, Mark, and Craig as they adjust to life without her. She will be dearly missed.

On the up side, we got to meet Joanna, Christopher's girlfriend. She's darling! She appears to be his equal. She's smart, beautiful, and motivated. I wish I had been able to take pictures of Joanna fixing breakfast on Monday morning for her boyfriend. She made scrambled eggs and waffles. Christopher ate every bite with no complaints. And best of all, she cleaned up the kitchen! I was totally impressed. She can visit anytime.
