I used to use this blog as a family activity blog, but it hasn't been used as such in over six years. So now it's my own personal diary/blog, for my random thoughts.... and for journaling travels with my sweet hubby, so I can review the good times later.

LOL - just figured it was time for a little levity. Have a great day, folks! Susan
I don't even know how to write this. We are all so very sad. Melonie Schollmeyer, a vibrant woman, our relative and friend, became suddenly ill over the weekend and passed away. Details at this point are sketchy. **(The following is updated info as of noon Monday)** Melonie's children, Brittany and Robert, just had their Confirmation on Saturday evening. Melonie was not feeling well enough to attend, and stayed at home with flu-like symptoms. Afterward the children, Mary, and Cheryl all visited with Mel before going taking the children to spend the night with Tom.

At the same time that DadTate is in the hospital in Arizona, there is another drama unfolding in Missouri. Please keep Aunt Edith Tate-Hern in your prayers; she is undergoing open heart bypass surgery as I write this post. Rick took her to Providence Hospital initially for pneumonia and three blood clots in her legs which had not responded to treatment. The doctors were planning on removing the clots surgically. But then, in the hospital she suffered a heart attack. And then she went in to renal failure, necessitating a delay in obtaining a heart catheterization until they got that stabilized. The angiogram revealed that she needed a three-way bypass surgery. Two arteries were 99% blocked and one was 100% blocked, completely closed off. She did not want the surgery but then today she suffered another heart attack and consented to do the bypass surgery. They immediately prepped her and took her in to the O.R. on an emergency basis. When I last spoke to Rick they had just taken her off t...
