All in one update

Here’s a biggie all in one update. Jerry – Don’t have any details but it sounds like his condition continues to worsen. It sounds like he’s getting to the point he was at shortly before I visited him. Had he not had aggressive medical intervention then, he likely would not … Continue reading →

Cancer updates

First off, I don’t have any updates on Jerry. I should probably try to get one, and if I do, I’ll pass that along here. Scott is home and was reportedly in church this morning and doing well. I don’t have any update on the biopsy but if they determine … Continue reading →

Scott and Patrick Swayze

2 Comments

Someone who has no idea about all the cancer cases surrounding me mentioned that Patrick Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a couple of months ago. Ironic given Marshall’s recent diagnosis… Also, I got an update on Scott. He had surgery yesterday and it turns out the cancer is not … Continue reading →

Last week the news came that yet another of our friends may be dealing with cancer. This time, it’s a guy from our church, Scott, who plays the bass. His dad passed away recently from cancer. The suspicion was lymphoma and they were going to do a biopsy but due … Continue reading →

Update on Marshall

1 Comment

Note: I should have opened up this new tag, cancer, several entries ago. There might not be too many to fix, so I’ll go do that. Marshall just gave a good update via comment to a previous entry, in case anyone is interested in the latest. It’s better news than … Continue reading →

Marshall

The time has come to start catching up on last week’s activities. Despite the circumstances, it was a good week. Last week’s entry about the tower tour gives a bit of an introduction to the long time friendship between Marshall Fritz, my dad and myself. I had already started to … Continue reading →

To Glorify God

I’ve known Jerry for nearly two decades. I don’t actually recall when we first met but it would have been before 1991, maybe by a year or three. He’s now 54 and his son, Jeremy is just a few years younger than me. About 4 years ago he was diagnosed … Continue reading →

A tour of the tower

This, I suppose, will go down in the ‘history of me’ category. The time has come to tell a story that will probably wander a bit. It’s partly a trip down memory lane, but partly in anticipation of next week’s trip to California. It’s a story I’ve told many times, … Continue reading →

Broken

6 Comments

There are many broken things and people this week. Some of them might be fixable. Others are not. Some are unknown. The time since I got home has been pretty rough….. I came home to find the printer broken. Ordered a part. Don’t know if that’ll fix it (or if … Continue reading →
