Hola and Muchas Gracias — Hello and many thanks. We’re home and enjoying every minute.

We have been OVERWHELMED by the prayers, support and offers of help not only for us, but for our sons and families while we were in Spain and since returning home.

We thank God for Pastor Dave and our Immanuel Reformed church family as well as the many other area and out of state churches who had us on their prayer list. God was with us and took care of every need almost before we knew what we needed. We thank God for the wonderful surgeon and team who saved

Dennis’ life, the two ‘Spanish angels’ who helped me the first few days when I needed help with the language and when I needed to find a hotel closer to the hospital. We thank God for the internet and email — my way of keeping everyone back home up to date on Dennis’ progress. It became my therapy every day. We thank God for the wonderful nurse who accompanied us back to the states and enabled us to come home so much sooner. We thank God for Hampton Travel Planner and the travel insurance company for making arrangements for us and our sons and seeing to my needs while in Spain. And to Jeff Buseman and Craig Donnelly for

transporting our sons to and from the airport so they could spend a week with us in Spain. We thank God for the wonderful welcome and treatment we received when we arrived at Mercy Hospital in Mason CIty. They let us have a great reunion with our sons and their families. Out grandchildren especially needed to see their grandpa.

Since coming home we have had food brought in, flowers, cards, phone calls and visitors and we appreciate everything. There really are no words to let you know how we feel about the wonderful things done for us so we will just say, TO GOD BE THE GLORY. — Dennis and Kaye Vanness

The fund raiser for the Mason City Civil War Reenactment at Southbridge Mall was a big success, thanks to everyone who bought something or just donated money. Many people told us to “keep the change” after a purchase. All of the contributions were greatly appreciated.

We hope to see everyone at the reenactment to be held at East Park from Sept. 9-11 this year. Bring the kids for kids day on Friday, enjoy the Battle of Bull Run, dance at the Ball, buy a pie at the auction and much, much more.
