THANK YOU

Thank you to everyone who was at my side during and after Betty passed away. To our relatives, neighbors, friends, the doctors and nurses at Mayo Clinic and St. Mary’s Hospital in Rochester and the Burnett Medical Center in Grantsburg. Thank you to those who brought the delicious food, gave hugs, shared grief and watched Rascal. Many of you visited when I returned home and Steve stayed with me. Pastor Gil and Pastor Cook and all the special people at Danbury Methodist Church what you did, what you said, and your presence meant so much to me. 3W Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes.

Hank had heart surgery May 20, 2013. As a result of several complications, he was hospitalized for 4 months and in a nursing home for 2 months. In July 2013 his right leg was amputated at midcalf and in October he was fitted with a prosthetic leg and foot. He returned home November 20, 2013, and with therapy he is making progress and getting stronger. Please come to this celebration to greet Hank and enjoy some good food and fellowship, and dance to the wonderful polka music of Terry Tonnar. There will be food, raffles, silent auction and games for kids. Freewill offering accepted.
