Forwarded from Nevitt, >Dear Church Family, > >Thank you for your prayers and kind thoughts through the past week. >Kathy and Helen have made it clear that the church is available to help >in any way possible. My mother's condition initially didn't seem so >grim, and it worsened gradually over a week's time, so it never really >occurred to us to ask for assistance of any kind. Our lives went from >busy to exhausted, but we never noticed the transition. Plus, as Kathy >suggested to me, we (probably all of us at AMC) are the kind of people >that tend not to ask for help, which is probably not a particularly >healthy attitude. > >Anyway, at this point we are doing well, considering the situation. My >mother passed away Thursday afternoon. Darlene's parents arrived >yesterday, and we are planning on leaving for Carlsbad, NM Sunday. My >mother attended First Baptist Church in Carlsbad for 40 years, and the >pastoral staff, the local funeral home, and members of the congregation >have been most helpful in making arrangements. The funeral will be >Wednesday afternoon. My mother's body will be buried in Carlsbad. We >plan on returning to Austin Thursday or Friday. > >Nevitt Reesor ----------------------- Steve & Pat Hochstetler 512-989-1321 srh2pjh@xxxxxxxxx ------- Austin Mennonite Church, (512) 926-3121 www.mennochurch.org To unsubscribe: use subject "unsubscribe" sent to amc-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
