Just got news that my uncle Dennis went into the hospital for emergency surgery. Apparently his bowel perforated and after 3 surgeries (including amputation of his leg) he was placed on life support and his kids flew out today to say their goodbyes (his son Kent lives here in Austin). This is all very sudden. Dennis and Virginia came and visited Austin Mennonite during the Thanksgiving holiday. Prayers for our family are much appreciated. -Dixie
