Hi Vicky,
OMG, Tom and Steve were both in my class. Here we go again. It seems that 2014 
was a pretty topsy-turvy year and no doubt, like you said, 2015 sounds like it 
is getting off to a good start already.
Yes, I guess when we get older, we hear more about theese things. Well we never 
really thought much about death and dying when we were all kids right?
Thanks so much for passing on the news.
Peggy and Ginger.
Class of 1970.

Well, we’re ending the month/year, with yet another death.  Frances Donbrosky 
called me this morning to indicate that Tom Vanzee’s obituary is in the Lansing 
State Journal today.  She said that tom was only 63, and she knew he had heart 
problems, as she works with his wife, and was told here while back that Tom’s 
heart was failing.  He died in Florida, and she suspected that they paid to 
bring his body back to Michigan, as the article said that his funeral will be 
at a baptist church in Lansing.  So, I’ll try to get the obit from LSJ and 
post, but if someone else wants to get it sooner, I’d appreciate it.  Since I’m 
on limited download usage, we’re at the end of our limit so may or may not be 
able to do the download, can’t tell.  Anyway, there’s more that Frances told 
me.  Steve council doesn’t want it spread throughout the MSB community as yet, 
but she said that now he’s been in the hospital and is now on the ventilator, 
so she expects to be calling me very soon about his death.  Apparently, it’s 
not his heart but his lungs, this time.  He has never smoked a day in his life. 
 Sound familiar?  She didn’t tell me what hospital he was in either.  So, 2015 
will be another active year, it appears, in the category of MSB deaths.  Guess 
that’s what getting older does.  Oh, she said that Steve is 65 years old.  Take 
care all and happy new year.

May God bless you now, and evermore!
