Hallelujah! He is Risen! You continue to live in the life that Jesus won for all of us! What a great gift!

Love, Irene

Just look how long it has been since you stopped your Vidaza. You have been able to do so many things since then. Sounds like a “remission” to me, even though they said there are not “remissions” with MDS. You proved them wrong………Prayers for your continued great days….Sheila

Let us add our Happy Spring thoughts to those offered by others in these comments. Here in Southern CA, we expect 80 degrees or so on Sunday.

Life goes on — Susan will celebrate by trying to get over the flu-like virus she picked up as a juror last week at the Orange County Courthouse.

(Some in the midwest, I hear, celebrate the end of March with other types of medical exams!)

Our warmest, prayerful, best to you people (AND to your dog)

One of our most memorable Easter Sundays at little Grace Lutheran in Hill City was when the organist and a young trumpeter from our congregation decided to play a duet. This was the first time I can remember hearing any special instrumentation at this church. Well, they started off the service with “Jesus Christ is Risen Today” — only they shared the same music and didn’t bother to transpose for the trumpet. Thus, when the organ played C, the trumpet played B-flat. You can imagine how that sounded! And the congregation sang to this!! Bonnie and her husband walked into the church a little late, and as soon as they heard the music, they turned around in the aisle and walked right back out. Those of us already seated tried to stifle laughter — it was horrible. Our whole pew shook. My dad shut his hymnal and muttered something like, “Oh, for Pete’s sake”! For quite a while after that, I’d get out my B-flat clarinet and Kris would play the piano and we’d relive at home that glorious Easter morn!!

Happy Easter to you and your family! The battle is over .. . the victory is won!!!!!!!!!!!

Love,
Mindy
