Dunwoody mother gains support in fight against deadly condition Pharmacist recognized onset of leukemia By CATHY COBBS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Lauren Cessna didn’t feel well. “I was so tired, I couldn’t get out of bed,” she said, recalling a sevenday period in early July when she felt worse and worse with each passing hour. “I was short of breath and also had bruises all over my body for no apparent reason.” Cessna, 32, told her husband, Chris, that she had leukemia, which he denounced immediately. But Cessna, a pharmacist at Northside Hospital, felt otherwise. “I used to work in the bone marrow transplant unit, and I saw patients that had the same symptoms as I did,” she said. “I went to the urgent care, told them I thought I had leukemia, and begged them to do a CBC (complete blood count) on me.” The results weren’t going to be available for several days, and Cessna continued to feel terrible, so she drove herself to the emergency room at Northside Hospital on July 6. Because of restrictions put into place by the hospital in connection with COVID-19, she had to go in alone. “While I was sitting in the waiting room, I got a phone call from the urgent care, and the person said, ‘Are you sitting down? You have leukemia

Store owner brought sunshine to everyone she encountered By CATHY COBBS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. – Camelot Jeweler’s owner Helen Sher never had a bad day. According to her son, Mike Pearce, who worked with her at the Jett Ferry-area shop since 1993, Sher always had a cheery smile and positive attitude that never wavered, even when she was battling cancer. “Everyone, I mean everyone, has to have a bad day once and awhile, but my mom never did,” Pearce said. “It was always, ‘Welcome to Camelot,’ no matter what was happening to her.”
Sher, 93, who had been battling and beating cancer for more than two decades, died in her sleep Oct. 24. She had opted to quit chemotherapy a year ago because “it had taken such a toll on her,” Pearce said. “She was doing great for a year after she stopped treatment, but then the last few months, her health declined,” he said. “Up to a month before she died, she was still driving to work. She was just as sharp as she had ever been.” Camelot Jewelers, located in the

Wellstar leads state in emergency cardiac care center designations
Shops of Williamsburg, has been in business since 1977. Pearce and his sister, Marka, and Pearce’s daughter, Shannon, have continued in Sher’s footsteps, even though her death has left a giant void in their hearts. “Every morning, we would talk and set the day,” Pearce said of his mother. “That’s the thing that I miss the most about her.” Marka, who has been working at the store “forever,” said she mourned in particular her Sunday lunches with Sher. They tried to eat local at all times, with the Asian Café down the street from the store being one of their favorites. “Sunday was our day,” she said. “I miss everything about her, but especially, that day.” Sher and her staff were known throughout the decades as serviceoriented business people, helping customers with orders both significant and sentimental. If you needed a family heirloom repaired, a diamond replaced, or a special jewelry item ordered or designed, Camelot was the place to go, even if you weren’t from around here. Evidence of that was a chance encounter by a Crier reporter with Brian James, who regularly travels from Lawrenceville to Dunwoody to use the store’s engraving services. He said he wouldn’t trust the work with anyone but Camelot Jewelers, and cited Sher and her generosity of spirit as the primary reason for his trust in the business and its mission. “She was the epitome of a life well-lived. I loved visiting with her and talking to her,” James said. “Remember, we are just passing through this world and it’s not so much who we are,
MARIETTA, Ga. — Wellstar Health System, one of the largest and most integrated health systems in Georgia, leads the state in Emergency Cardiac Care Center designations from the Georgia Department of Public Health, Office of Cardiac Care. Established by legislation passed in 2017, the three-level designation program aims to strengthen Georgia’s Emergency Medical Services system by identifying hospitals that provide outstanding advanced emergency cardiac care aimed at improving survival rates for heart attacks and cardiac arrest. Five Wellstar hospitals have now received the designation, including Wellstar Kennestone Hospital (Level I), Wellstar North Fulton (Level II), Wellstar Cobb Hospital (Level II), Wellstar Douglas Hospital (Level II), and Wellstar Paulding Hospital (Level II). Wellstar has the largest ECCC network in Georgia and is home to one of only two LI ECCCs in Metro Atlanta. “Receiving the Emergency Cardiac Care Center designations further illustrates Wellstar’s ability to provide exceptional critical and often life-saving care for patients having heart attacks or other acute cardiac problems,” said Dr. Barry Mangel, chief cardiology officer for Wellstar Health System Cardiovascular Medicine. “Wellstar has a robust network of cardiology experts and services across our system so people can get the right care at the right time, no matter how routine or complex. These designations further validate our ability to offer quality cardiac care for some of our most critical patients.” According to the Georgia Department of Public Health, cardiovascular disease is the single leading cause of death in Georgia and accounts for more than 20,000 deaths annually.

Lauren: Continued from Page 1 While Cessna’s illness was swift, she believed that fate had been preparing her professionally and personally for battle beginning years ago. Her experience working in the bone marrow unit readied her for the grim reality of her diagnosis, as well as the prescribed treatment, which encompasses chemotherapy, radiation and if necessary, a stem cell transplant. She started chemotherapy almost immediately and was sequestered at Northside for 23 days, unable to see her husband, friends, or 2-year-old daughter, Ava, aside from virtual visits. She believes that divine intervention on a second front had occurred two years ago when the couple moved to the Redfield subdivision, a close-knit neighborhood that has stepped up to embrace the family using the moniker #laurenstrong. “Lauren is a wonderful mother and an incredible health care professional,” said Redfield resident and friend Ashley Herd, who along with neighbor Brittney Black, came up with the idea for #laurenstrong. “We were inspired by the ‘Everything will be Okay’ signs that came out at the beginning of COVID that were all around Dunwoody, and we wanted to have something like that so Lauren knew we were supporting her, even though we couldn’t physically be with her.” Like Cessna’s diagnosis, the plan to create #laurenstrong as a surprise for Lauren and her family was swift. The night Lauren disclosed her illness to her friends, Herd called a graphic artist friend, Jonathan Kaplan, about coming up with a design featuring orange, the signature color for leukemia. Within an hour, a design was finished, and the next day, the owners of Standard

Press of Atlanta, also Redfield residents, started production on 200 signs, which they printed for free. The neighbors decided to surprise the Cessnas with a show of support on Sept. 26, Herd said. “We distributed the signs to everyone on Friday night, and on Saturday morning, Chris told Lauren they were going out for coffee,” Herd said. “When they came down the street, more than 150 people were standing in their yards holding the signs and cheering as they went past.” Even today, Cessna gets choked up talking about that morning. “That was so incredibly nice of everyone to do that — it was overwhelming,” Cessna said. “Redfield has come through in wonderful ways with meal trains and offers to take care of Ava. I really believe that God put us in this place to prepare me for this.” The battle is far from over for Cessna. Initially, doctors said she wouldn’t have to undergo a stem cell transplant, but

further tests indicated that this would be the best course of treatment. Her 65-year old father, Lee Ritenbaugh, is a partial match, and he has temporarily moved to Atlanta to start the harvesting process. Cessna is also preparing for the transfer by undergoing chemotherapy and whole-body radiation. After the transplant procedure, she will have to monitored closely to ensure the cells engraft and will spend most of each day for a month in a clinic being closely monitored. She said she has been told that it will take up to a year to return to some sense of normality. Even with all that science has to offer in battling AML, Cessna said the five-year survival odds are not great, simply because there are few cases of otherwise healthy 32-year-old women contracting the disease. “Knowing what I know is a blessing and a curse,” she said. “I’ve seen personally the worst and sickest people, and sometimes it’s hard to be positive. But I believe that a great attitude gets you through these kinds of things, and everything that happens along the way is what gives you the tools to handle challenges.” To keep up with Cessna’s journey, visit #laurenstrong on Instagram.

Local canneries were part of farm life Dorothy Kellogg won six first prizes for canning at the Southeastern Fair in 1928. She acquired her skills at Chamblee High School, where there was a cannery on campus. The cannery was VALERIE part of Chamblee’s BIGGERSTAFF vocational and home economics training. These skills were useful to DeKalb County students at the time and continuing through the 1950s, when most people in the area farmed. Dorothy lived along Chamblee Dunwoody Road just north of Vermack Road with her parents Forrest Kellogg Sr., Allie Kellogg, and brothers Hubbard and Edwin. After graduating from Chamblee High School, Dorothy attended the University of Georgia, then worked for Sears giving canning instructions to the public. Sears published a brochure on canning in 1932. (Atlanta Constitution, July 17, 1932, “Housekeepers are Urged to Can Surplus Vegetables and Fruits”) Several Georgia schools had canneries on their grounds. In 1943, Tucker, Norcross and Chamblee high schools were among the top Georgia schools processing canned food and helping their community. A cannery opened that same year at Druid Hills High School. This cannery was only open to those who helped purchase equipment and paid for subscriptions to use the cannery. It was outfitted with second-hand equipment and no government funds were used. (Atlanta Constitution, June 17, 1943, “Druid Hills Cannery, Unique in Financing, Ready for Bow”) The grandchildren of Ambrey Carpenter recall that during the 1940s he operated the cannery and taught shop at Chamblee High School. His occupation listed on the U.S. 1940 Census is vocational teacher. He also worked as

My grandparents had a small closet in the farmhouse that always had rows of cans and jars filled with tomatoes, green beans, pickles, peaches and fig preserves. The Decatur cannery was located on Camp Road off Memorial Drive around the DeKalb County Police Headquarters. Records at the DeKalb History Center show that this public cannery processed 50,516 cans of meat and vegetables in 1962. According to pickyourown.org/canneries, there are several canneries across Georgia. However, there are none listed in DeKalb County or Fulton County.

Planning Association, I authored Volume Two of the series entitled “Planning for the Challenges of Aging, Healthcare and Special Needs.” Since 2009, we have grown older, and with the pandemic and recent electioneering, healthcare as a political and financial planning concern still is top of mind.

In Memoriam
Thomas George “Tom” Hanlon
Thomas George “Tom” Hanlon died Saturday, November 14, 2020. He was 85. His last days, like his life, were filled with family, love and laughter. He was born November 29, 1934 in Chicago, IL to the late Eleanor and George Melbourne “Mel” Hanlon. Growing up in Hamilton, Ohio, Tom attended Miami University of Ohio, graduating with a BS in Business. While at Miami, Tom played on the Miami of Ohio football team as a Guard and was Consul (President) of the Alpha Chapter of the Sigma Chi fraternity. He served his country as a 1st Lieutenant in the Marine Corps, an experience that provided treasured friendships and colorful stories. Like his collegiate and post-graduate experiences, Tom’s business career was marked by hard work and good fortune. He worked for Dow Chemical Company as part of the Consumer Products leadership team, beginning his career in St Louis, MO, then moving his family to Cincinnati, OH and finally to Roswell, GA. In addition, he served as a long-time volunteer at St. Joseph’s Hospital’s surgical center. Tom married Sandra “Sandy” Locke in 1956, after growing up together since elementary school. They had two sons and a daughter, creating a family “rich in love.” He greatly loved his wife, Sandy, his children, his son-in-law and daughters-in-law, his five grandchildren- and how they loved him! They cherished his humor and wisdom, and his unconditional love. He was an amazing role model as a husband, father, grandfather, and friend.
When the family settled in Roswell, GA they became active in the community and their beloved church, Roswell Presbyterian Church (RPC). As a man of deep faith, Tom devoted his time and leadership to serving as an Elder, leading RPC’s Thornwell Children’s Home campaign and participating in numerous mission trips. He also served in leadership with the Greater Atlanta Presbytery. Tom is survived by his wife of 64 years, Sandy Hanlon ; his children Scott William Hanlon (Margaret), Cumming, GA; David Locke Hanlon (Lou), Marietta, GA; and Jennifer Hanlon Clifford ( Joe), Charlotte, NC. He was affectionately adored by his five grandchildren: Sarah Hanlon, Nashville, TN; John Clifford, Dallas, TX; Ashley and Ben Hanlon, Marietta, GA; and Kate Clifford, Charlotte, NC. He is also survived by his sister, Joan Fox, Upland, CA and Virginia Hanlon, Mason, OH. The family is profoundly grateful to the compassionate staff at Huntcliff Summit II. A worship service in celebration of Tom’s life will be held on Saturday, December 5, 2020 at Roswell Presbyterian Church. Rev. Jeff Meyers and Rev. Joe Clifford will be officiating. A visitation will be the afternoon prior, December 4, 4PM-6PM at Northside Chapel, www.northsidechapel.com. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to Roswell Presbyterian Church, c/o Hanlon memorial, P.O. Box 988 Roswell, Georgia 30077-0988.
vestment managers declare that they “act in the client’s best interest” as fiduciaries. You want all of your advisors, including doctor, lawyer, accountant and financial planner, to act in your best interest and, as Hippocrates ordained, “to do good or do not harm” in rendering counsel. Hippocrates was a Greek physician born in 460 B.C. Considered the founder of medicine, he based his practice on observations of human behavior and the study of the human body. He held that the body must be treated as a whole, not just as a series of parts. Hippocrates was the first to declare that thoughts, ideas and feelings came from the brain, not the heart as commonly believed. Illness had a physical and rational explanation and did not stem from evil spirits or disfavor of the gods. Many are surprised to learn that the Hippocratic Oath to which doctors swear does not contain the words “do no harm.” While the concept of “first doing no harm” is explicit in the oath, the words cited in paragraph two come from one of the great doctor’s other writings, “Of the Epidemics.” Upon graduation, many medical students swear to a version of the Hippocratic Oath written by Louis Lasagna, Academic Dean, Tuft University School of Medicine, in 1964. A financial planner’s version of the oath was adopted from Dean Lasagna’s version for Volume Two of the FPA series by yours truly, reflecting on financial and life transitions planning advice centered on individual and family challenges encompassing aging, healthcare and special needs, especially care-giving demands. Living and testamentary estate planning calls for depth of knowledge, sensitivity and coordination with a team of professionals appropriate to the circumstances. A Hippocratic Oath for Financial Planners I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant: I will respect the hard-won gains of trust of those financial planners and trusted advisors and pioneers in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow. I will apply, for the benefit of those who seek my help, all measures that are required, avoiding the traps of excessive architectural process and product complexity on one hand, and naive simplicity on the other hand, doing at all times what is clearly in the best interest of the client, and those who may be their caregivers. I will remember that there is an art to financial planning as well as process, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh tools and technology and the application of products.
I will not be ashamed to say “I know not,” nor will I fail to call in colleagues and credentialed professionals when the skills of another are needed for a client’s progress and well-being. I will respect the privacy of my clients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of sensitivity involving serious illness, threats to life and financial integrity, and personal and family challenges. All matters of a personal and sensitive nature must be approached with a sense of awesome responsibility, and must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own limitations as an advisor. Above all, I must not give advice that is the province of legal, medical, accounting, and other trained and credentialed professionals. I will remember that I serve a human being whose challenges may affect the person’s family and their economic stability. My responsibility includes understanding related problems. I constantly should upgrade my education and be part of a collaborative network of thought-leaders and resource providers if I am to care adequately for challenged clients who have placed their trust in my ability to help. I will help clients to anticipate and plan for life’s vagaries and challenges since a well-crafted and communicated plan is preferable to an emotional and panic-driven response to crisis as the prudent and preferable course. I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those of sound mind and body as well as those suffering from physical and mental challenges, and those who care for them and love them. If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, cognizant of my spiritual obligations, be respected by family, community, clients, and peers while I live, and be remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so to preserve the finest traditions of my calling, and may I long experience the joy of motivating positively those who seek my counsel.

3. Keep up with holiday traditions — or create new one just for your new home: Use your new online connection to find delivery services to help stock your pantry and fridge. Your new house will feel more like home if you take time to watch your favorite holiday shows, maintain your exercise program (to feel fit and fight those holiday pounds). Make time to connect with people you care about through group video chats or viewing parties and show off your holiday decorations or virtually ring in the New Year.
Here are hints on how: 1. Take the proper pandemic precautions: Follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention disinfecting guidelines. While out for move-related errands, be sure to cover your mouth
and your nose. Some festive holidaythemed masks are available. Also, wash your hands regularly with soap and water.
2. Stay Connected: A good move, even before you move, is to get in touch with the new home’s local Cable provider through www.smartmove.us and ar-

Home is where the business leader’s heart is Brought to you by — Cynthia Lippert Managing Broker Ansley Atlanta & President Elect, Atlanta Realtors Association The saying that home is where the heart is rings especially true during the holiday season, and to say that home is more important this year than ever would be a big understatement. For a business, home has an even LIPPERT broader meaning. And for a leading real estate firm founded in Atlanta, it means taking care of its clients while working to serve the community it calls home. Ansley Atlanta Real Estate, recognized as one of the fastest growing private companies in the US by Inc 5000, has made it an integral part of their culture and business practices to serve surrounding communities, both through organized volunteering efforts and charitable giving. Each year, the company partners with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, donating funds to support its various programs and facilities, such as the Marcus Autism Center; one of the leading centers for
Autism disorders in the United States. Other programs, such as Canines For Kids, which rely exclusively on donor funding, have made a difference in the lives of thousands of children statewide. To date, Ansley Atlanta Real Estate has contributed over $250,000 to CHOA which recently announced plans to build a new state of the art North Druid Hills campus beginning next year. You can read an exclusive story on that project in our digital Fall edition of The Ansley Collection, located on the front page of our website. A critical part of being a respected local business is embracing the position to give back. Businesses like Ansley consider it an honor to be a trusted partner not only to their clients but to the communities that are so important to them. Ansley agents are highly sought after for their expertise and high level of service, as well as an impressive history of supporting important charitable organizations that positively impact the entire metro area. And since a portion of Ansley’s home sales revenue is dedicated to supporting these charities, their clients can take part in the giving process while receiving top notch brokerage services. By working with the company, Ansley’s clients are
a part of something meaningful, something bigger than a single transaction, and something that helps the surrounding community. This year Ansley Atlanta Real Estate partnered with Sunshine on a Ranney Day; a local non-profit that provides renovation services for families with children in need of wheelchair ramps, therapy rooms, and other accessibility needs. The non-profit opened its first charity boutique, Sunny & Ranney, in historic downtown Roswell this Fall, where upscale furniture and household items can be donated for sale, with all proceeds benefiting the charity directly. An organization that has helped over 17,000 children so far, Sunshine on a Ranney Day was an obvious choice for a leading real estate firm known for its exceptional client service as well as its service to the greater community. As an Atlanta-grown business, Ansley’s leadership team continues to make charitable giving and volunteering a top priority in an effort to give back to a community that has been incredibly supportive throughout the years. ansleyatlanta.com 31 Church St., Alpharetta, GA 30009 770-284-9900

Time shift? Brought to you by – Dan Griffin Keller Williams First Atlanta “The delayed spring home-buying season fueled sales well into October and past the time when they would normally begin to slow GRIFFIN down,” said George Ratiu, senior economist for Realtor.com. “As the number of homes for sale keeps shrinking to new record lows, prices will continue to rise at a quick pace.” According to S&P CoreLogic CaseShiller National Home Price Index, which measures average home prices in major cities across the country, home prices rose 7% in the year that ended in September, up from a 5.8% annual rate previously. So we are seeing the traditional spring selling season (March-May) shifting to later this year, with the expectation that the demand will continue into the normally slow first quarter. Buyers and sellers are now more comfortable with the safety protocols in place to view homes, than earlier this year. Here in
Atlanta, we are still seeing a limited inventory of available homes, and high demand for the very best quality. In additional to the above factors, interest rates for “purchase” mortgages have declined to approximately 2.8% for the most credit worthy buyers. Refinancing activity is also robust. If you would like to receive the Realtors Property Resource Report for your home, please email me. It is available through The National Association of Realtors, and contains over 15 pages of data on your home, projected value and neighborhood data. Dan Griffin, dangriffinadvisors@kw.com

Remodeling Expo Design Studio
Covid pushes contractors to their limits Brought to you by — Remodeling Expo Center While many personal care businesses and restaurants are struggling to survive, the exact opposite is happening in the home improvement industry. Home Depot’s year over year revenues are up more than 25%, Remodeling Expo Center’s revenue (North Atlanta’s largest remodeler) is up almost 60% and 3 out of 4 homeowners surveyed indicate that they have or are planning a major project. This unprecedented demand is stressing manufacturer’s supply chains and contractor’s ability to handle larger workloads. Fueling this demand are: record low interest rates, home refinancing, equity markets, and Georgia’s classification of Home Improvement as an “Essential Service”. This has given the green light to the rapid expansion of the entire industry. These factors contribute to the availability of “homeowner cash”, but
more importantly, homeowners have the time to focus. Everyone is working from home and kids are virtually learning, which both directly translate into homeowner’s need to modify their homes. John Hogan, owner of Remodeling Expo Center comments “We have never seen anything like it and due to our large size, we can handle the influx of projects. We have increased the size of our design and installation teams, but we are all working 6 days a week. The primary focus seems to be home offices, kitchens, bathrooms, removing partition walls, and finishing basements.” “We’re managing onsite installation safety extremely well” says Peter Schnieper, Remodeling Expo’s installation VP. “The prevention of Covid transmission is quite similar to asbestos and mold spores, so our safety procedures required only minor modification. We also encourage homeowners to temporarily move out or take vacations while the work is performed. Remodeling Expo Center expanded showroom hours in March and is likely to expand then again due to the increased demand. Although the Covid infection rate is surging there doesn’t seem to be any end to the surge to the home improvement industry. To learn more, contact The Remodeling Expo Center at 404 910-3969 or stop by the Design Center at 48 King Street, Roswell, GA 30075. www.RemodelingExpo.com.
