Hi all , I am totally frustrated bummed ticked off P Od that I can't leave the great state of Misery/Missouri this year ....,.I sure thought this would be calmed down by now at least for the sedate game of golf and natural SD ! I am behaving myself, have only played once this summer and I don't even want to think about score but it's still fun.   Will miss this event weekend and all of you!  Stay well and safe!

Happy Birthday Janet Meininger, one of our award winners, and well deserved.  I remember the excellent impersonation of "Sister Bio" you did.  But, I remember your gentle kindness most of all.  Scotty, we'll miss you this year, hopefully we'll be graced by you presence next year.

I hope everyone has a wonderful time at the reunion. I thought I was doing a little better and thought I might stop by after golf. But today I decided to follow the palliative nurse's urging to put my Bob in hospice. He has lost a lot of weight, is not eating much, and has many uti's. She feels it is disease progression and I should go for comfort care. It was a hard decision. And of course I spent the day crying. I don't do well at first until I adjust to each new stage. I am so glad some of you will enjoy a day of laughs and sharing. We need to grab every happy moment we can. God bless all of you.

I'll pray for both of you Mary Ann ... such a decision weighs heavily on a person ... God bless him, and you, for being such a loving care-taker ... wink

Everyone at the weekend outing, enjoy each other and it'll be so good to get away for a few hours !! Mary Ann, my heart and prayers go out to you and your dear husband. You both our in our thoughts and some have walked your walk so you are not alone.  Hope the weather is good and fellowship even better!

Mary Ann, my heart is breaking for you!  This disease progression is incredibly hard to watch.  Hopefully now they will allow you to spend time with Bob in person.  I certainly understand the tears and frustration!  My life is following the same course as yours.  Thank you so much for your assistance with the legal side of all of this.  I am still in the middle of it and praying that a favorable outcome happens soon!

To my classmates- I had planned on attending the reunion this year, but my family will all be arriving today to help celebrate my upcoming MEGA birthday!  I haven't seen them since Thanksgiving, so I have to get Nana's Diner ready to re-open to make all their favorites!  It looks like whoever prayed for warmer weather for this year's s gala might have overdone it!  Apparently it will be pretty toasty there tomorrow! 

Please stay hydrated, healthy and enjoy!  Love and miss you all 🥰

Best wishes for a strong and cooler day tomorrow.

I would love to be there to beat the little white ball but I will be thinking of all of you having a great time.

Enjoy the day no matter how bad you play and enjoy the 19th hole more.

Mary Ann, I am so sorry about your husband. As Arlene said it is hard on everyone but especially the ones who are in direct contact and every day seeing how things progress or degress. Prayers for you and the entire family.

Mary Ann, our hearts and prayers go out to you as you cope with the changes in Bob's well-being.  It is so difficult to see someone we love regress.  I hope that you can focus on the blessings that such a fulfilling partner brought to you and all the wonderful times you shared.  The special feelings of having a partner who we supplement and who supplements and complements us is so much more than a blessing.  We hope that your daughters and grandchildren can help you, and each other, through this sad transition.  You always have been one of the "Good Guys".

Speaking of which - Happy belated Birthday, Gerry - as good a friend as one could ever ask for.

As to the Reunion/Golf Outing, the weather was warm, rather than hot.  While the turnout was diminished by the Covid, family gatherings and a funeral, the participants had a terrific day.  Larry modified his already benevolent rules to include the protection of the flora and fauna to save the trees and the fish (How thoughtful!!).  Mary Strauss brightened the day with her smile and Dave brought his lovely wife, Barb, to enhance the gathering.  A new face in the crowd, George Karam, added to the fun.  Lucia took several pictures, and even though she has an issue with her meniscus, she putted well for us.  We hope to see you all again next year for another special day.

Mary Ann Shirk (Hribar)

Thank you for the many kind words. After meeting with hospice and talking to my favorite nurse at the facility, we have decided to keep Bob in palliative care a little longer. He has gotten over his infection and is a little better for now. I know I am avoiding the inevitable, but after hearing about his care in hospice, I feel I would be actively killing him. No blood work, no urinalysis, no active treatments. As his nurse said to me, he has no respiratory or cardiac issues and is comfortable. 
I hope the reunion was great. Praying all of you stay well.

Judy Schoen (Grewe)

Mary Ann , I believe you are blessed in your continuing palliative care, you're both in good hands with your team !

Janet Flick (Stickel)

Mary Ann, I agree with Judy.  You have a knowledgeable, supportive, palliative care team.  With their input, your gut feelings, family support and prayer, I'm sure you are making the right decisions for Bob. When looking at your family photo, it's evident what a fine husband and family you are blessed with.  I'm glad you share with us and know that you have your classmates' full support. 

Mike, thanks for the recap of our golf outing last weekend.  You are the annual golf outing's biggest cheerleader!  We will meet again next year, hopefully with our world back to normal.

SAVE THE DATE:  50th + 8!  on AUGUST 28, 2021

Happy Birthday to Kathy.

Another year of joy, fun and bliss. Wishing the best to come.

Enjoy the day you and the family has been waiting for to enjot the cake and ice cream we all love,

Kathy, a Happy belated Birthday for you.  We are saddened by the loss of Bubba and hope that you are adjusting well to his being gone.  Hope to see you and Rick next year at our Reunion/golf outing.

Mary Ann, Janet and Judy have expressed so well what most of us are feeling and wishing for you and your family.  Usually when we trust our gut feelings we're ok, and when we trust our gut and our heart we're right.  Blessing upon Bob, you and your family.

A Merry Unbirthday to the rest of us.  Please remember what Soupy said - "An apple a day keeps the doctor away, and an onion a day keeps everyone away".

Happy Birthday, Arlene, we all hope that Doug is back to enjoying himself by entertaining you all on the piano.  We missed you at the Reunion/golf outing but these are strange times and next year should bring us better times.  At this time of year I envy you the beauty that surrounds Traverse City and I hope that you're finding the tranquility that the area possesses.
