In Honor of my Brother
In Honor of our Mom
Dana Hall
Grace Makela
Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer almost six years ago today and is still fighting the disease at 82 years old. She learned of the cancer returning, the same week she was to be done with a 5 year medication to keep the cancer away on one of her breasts where she had a lumpectomy and they found a small spot. This time the cancer came back into the other breast so bad that she had to have a mastectomy and a removal of cancer from 8 of 10 lymph nodes full of cancer. Our mom's cancer fight began with 6 weeks of radiation, chemo (Herceptin and 2 shots of Faslodex) once a month for a year. She was eventually told near the time of what could have been her last treatments that it would be better for her fight against the cancer, to continue with the combination of chemo, blood draws and shots to keep the cancer away by sticking with the treatment for the rest of her life. So, for the past 6 years our mom has been going to the cancer center for treatments every two weeks. This has not always been easy, especially with the many set backs she has experienced. Our mom has had many tests to check her heart, she has had to fight obstacles of reactions to treatment that come up from time to time, but one thing we have witnessed during and after each obstacle, she gets right back up and fights.
When I read part of the title in this ad that said "Fight Against Cancer", I thought of my Mom, our Grandma, Sister and Auntie, Grace Makela, who has been and still is today a "Champion Fighter" against the curse of cancer. We know for sure that God's presence, her determination to live and her children's constant help and support are the fight factors in her life then and now.
Lovingly submitted by one of her seven children, Susan Bosma. We love you mom.
Lu and Jack Horner
In Honor of
In July 2006, my brother found out he had melanoma skin cancer. He started treatment right away, going through radiation treatments. He went into remission but within a year, in 2007, he found out he had Non Hodgkins Lymphoma, a treatable but not curable cancer. He started chemo which was very difficult. Dana has been through so much. The chemo alone puts him down for a week. Through it all he never complained even though we all knew he was in pain. Never thinking of himself and always putting his family, friends and even other people first, he has the biggest heart of anyone I know. Between all the chemo, other testings, and bone marrow injections, Dana remains strong. He is a fighter. Doctors gave him only 3 months to live in 2007. He is still here today as he won't give up. Through all the pain he keeps on going. He tells me he will live to be 99. I believe it. He is the most thoughtful, caring person I have ever met. He loves his nieces & nephews and they all keep him going. He tries to do what he can for them. They all love their uncle. He doesn't have much, but would do anything for any of them. Always there when needed, he is the most selfless person I know. Everyday I pray for my brother & everyone else who has cancer. He enjoys doing so much but without money & tons of medical bills & needing money every month for medications, he doesn't do much. In Dec. 2015, Dana had a bone marrow transplant. Finding a match was a struggle, but we were so happy when they found someone. That itself was a relief! Dana had to spend a few weeks in the hospital, something he didn't like. He had family & friends who would come & visit. Here it is, almost a year later & he is still going. He still has days where he has problems. He has issues with his liver & other things due to radiation & chemo over the years. We're all grateful that he is still here.
We Love Him So Much. Diana, Maya, Shane, Kayla, Mom, Dustin & Jill, Nicole, Josh & Hunter, Kevin, Danielle, Emmett, Libby, Harlow, Liam & Wesley

She survived poverty and transiency growing up. She survived learning a second language and moving to the U.S. She survived birthing 7 children and a catastrophic brain aneurysm. She was the strongest person I've known, but she didn't survive colon cancer. She was my touchstone.

He was great at telling jokes and could walk through the woods without a sound. He survived poverty, homelessness and war in his youth. He survived fatherhood to 7 children & he survived colon cancer. Time caught up with him earlier this year at the age 88 3/4 when he left us to be reunited with his beloved "Frenchie".

“WANTING TO BE WELL” By Rev. Dan Minor
revdminor@att.net _____________________________________ “… Do you want to get well?” – John 5:6
There is an old story about a wife who became so concerned about her husband’s health that she made an appointment for him to see a doctor. He was totally out of shape physically. He was flabby, crabby and weak. So she took him to the doctor for a complete physical examination. After the exam, the doctor came out into the waiting room and said to his wife, “I’m sorry but I just don’t like the way your husband looks.” The man’s wife said, “Neither do I, but he is good to the children!” The point of the story may be there is more to a person than the outward appearance. Our physical bodies are just one part of us. In the original language of the New Testament (Greek) the word body literally means the total person … body, mind and spirit. For example, when Apostle Paul challenges us to give our bodies to God as “living sacrifices” (Romans 12:1), he is admonishing us to give our total selves to God. The word wholeness means all, entire and complete. Jesus always sees the total person. For example, to the man at the pool in need of healing, Jesus asked, “Do you want to be made well?” (John 5:6). On the surface it sounds like an unnecessary question, but Jesus always looks deeper than what appears on the outside. The man had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. In Jerusalem there was a pool with strange healing powers. There was a superstition that periodically an angel would stir the water. And the first person in would be healed of any disease. The man’s long illness is hard to explain. Maybe no one was willing to help him. Or perhaps he had given up hope. Or he had become accustomed to his condition. We see the outward appearance but Jesus sees the heart. The important truth in this story is that Jesus knows how to help. But He will never help against our will. There is no limit to what God can do in our lives, if we really want to be made whole. The matter of wholeness begins with our desires. The only way to completeness is through faith in Jesus Christ. Faith is our link to Jesus. Jesus is our link to God. Affirmation: “… May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (I Thessalonians 5:23).
