Re: Rough news....


Talked with Rog again last night. When I called, he was at the hospital talking with the Drs. He called back about 10:00 our time when things settled down a bit.

They air-evac'd Betty to a hospital in Tucson. Her medical problems, of which there is quite a list, requires specialized care that is unavailable in Phoenix. Hoping that the folks there can help her out.

Rog is holding up pretty well...exhausted and worried. He sends his and Betty's deepest thanks for all your thoughts, prayers and encouragement. It's helping them both.

Re: Rough news....


I talked with Roger tonight....there's no easy way to tell you all, So....

Roger's loving wife, Betty passed away at 2:10 this afternoon, after a long illness. As I told you earlier, her kidneys had failed, and there was nothing that the doctors could do to help her.

As you can imagine, Rog is having a rough time right now. Your thoughts and prayers will be most welcome ... for the both of them.

Rest easy in the palm of The Lord, dear...you will be missed by all.

Thanks for telling us Ted.

There's nothing I can say other than to tell Roger we care.
