Clinton Goff passed away September 4th at the nursing home near here that he’s been in since 2016. We hadn’t been able to visit him since the end of June due to the virus. Rachel and Brenda were able to have a brief visit with him a week before he died using Facetime. Here’s a link to notes from his memorial service which was held in Virginia.
John Culver was taken to the hospital September 2nd because of congestive heart failure. He improved and was moved to a rehab hospital, but then went down quickly with pneumonia, was moved to an hospice wing of another hospital and passed away Sept 25th. His funeral is tomorrow (October 1) here in Willis. There will be another funeral and burial in Owensboro, KY on Saturday. Here is a picture of John in the bible study the day before he went to the hospital (at right across from Fern). He was very weak but did try to have a part. Then a picture of him in the rehab hospital with Lois and myself.
Here’s a link to the folder for John’s funeral tomorrow: Service Folder
Otherwise, all here are doing ok. Dad fell and was in the hospital for stiches in his head, but seemed clearer afterward! We’re all getting older!
Karen Cleveland was still here for several days at the beginning of the month, visiting Elton. On her 50th anniversary of being in the work we had a sing and she told us some of her story. Here’s a picture from the sing and the workers that were that were there.
Here’s another picture of the workers, Brenda Townsend, Rachel Potter, Ana Laura Olivar, Alice Oetken and Karen Cleveland. Another picture of the sisters “talking” to each other!
Here’s Clarence with his son Wayne and Mary, visiting and playing dominos outside on the porch. Marybelle likes to “walk” back to the residence from meeting (it’s downhill). Dominique helps her.
We’re getting near harvest time and the varmints are sure making a mess. Crows, squirrels and pigs eat pecans and make a mess. We’ve managed to get rid of some, but not enough! Deer aren’t a problem for the pecans, but they eat the bait we use for the hogs. We don’t try to get rid of the deer… sometimes we have to save them from the hog trap. Hopefully there will be some pecans left for us.
