Dear Russ,

Just to let you know that our very dear friend Jonii Patterson passed away this morning at 11::51am at her daughter Mischa's home in Moline.  Mischa said that our little Jonii went very peacefully. We'll miss her for sure!
Details will be finalized tomorrow, but Mischa thought that the wake would be Thurs. and mass Fri.  She gave me the email for funeral home for more details.  It is:

                    www.McGinis-Chambers.com.

Thanks for keeping us all informed about our friends.

Merry Christmas!

Mimi Rose

I just wanted to thank all the people who sent me the comforting messages and cards after my Dad died.  It was especially appreciated due to the fact my Mom went into the hospital with pneumonia two days after my Dad died and was not able to attend my Dad's service. She just returned home 2 wks ago from rehab were she was sent to build her strength back up. Now we have had to get round the clock care for her.
I was off work for 4 mos. during this time due to chronic bronchitis, and other health concerns. The stress they tell me added to my health troubles.
So I just wanted you all to know, that all of your support was VERY much appreciated!

Many of you are aware that Lin Oriot's son, Connor, is undergoing treatment for cancer. He will be going into the 7th grade this year. There is a website you can go to so you can check on his progress and post a message to him if you so desire to. The website is:
          www.carepages.com
and his name is connorusa
You will have to register to be able to enter the site but it just takes a minute and I'm sure the rewards will be well worth it. Let's let Connor know that we care.

Hi Russ,
   Are you aware of Mary Lou's turbulence injury on Friday out of Shanghai?We had very sudden and very intense severe clear air turbulence. She hit the ceiling and landed on her bent left leg. She broke her ankle, two bones in her leg and bones in her foot.
   She will be having surgery this week . Perhaps she has already had it. I can't imagine her pain and discomfort.. Sincerely, Mary
You can send your get well wishes to Mary Lou at:
       Mrs. Mary Lou Block

Thanks, everyone!
