Mishap

 This afternoon I stopped by Shirley s place to drop something off.

I was so sad to learn that Shirley had a mishap in the parking lot at Costco yesterday.  

A person in a car was turning into a parking spot and did not see Shirley and hit her.

She fell and had the vehicle stopped on her ankle.

Her poor side of her head hit the pavement and there was plenty of blood. 

Costco called the ambulance 🚑  and gave her new groceries as hers had gone flying.

After a complete work up at KGH and a kind chat with Daniel S.  She was wrapped in an ace bandage and sent home.

Our miracle 'girl' is recovering and your kind messages just might be welcome as she rests and heals these next couple of weeks.

She is very thankful it is not worse.  

She allowed me to share these photos with you her church family.  Thank you for caring. 

Memorial for Arlene Janot

This past Sabbath a memorial was held for our friend Arlene Janot, at Winfield SDA Church at 2 pm.

It was a beautiful family lead service with those personal touches that made it just about that special person so many will miss now.

Kandus planned this to honor her dear Mumma and the wonderful God she loved and served in many personal and unique ways.

Brad mentioned each greatgrandchild in his talk and invited each one to be ready for Jesus return.

Thank you for sharing this special time among family and friends.

Pastor Josue Molina welcomed everyone to Winfield church.

Special relationships come from years of experiences with their Oma.

A lovely piece played by two grandchildren on viola and cello. 

Scripture read by great grandson. 

Brad had a talk about relationships with her God and her family  especially her husband and friends.

Sisters each talked about her organization and cleverness at getting out of dish doing. 

Friends shared special thoughts about times spent with Arlene. 

Her newest Bible all underlined and colour referenced.

The pink carnations and the lavender programs plus other personal touches helped us see the kind of person Arlene was.

After the service a light reception was enjoyed by those who stayed.

It was a nice time to speak with others there and give a hug or two.

One happy day we will not shed any more tears or say good bye.

Also to find a companion book on Revelation to read at home.

Following the service was fellowship meal downstairs.

Liza and friends did a great job of having the hot food ready and served a great meal.

We did miss Jerrie Lou and Vicki and Joy and Warren and Bonnie and Doug and Lori and Arnie.  Please get well soon for those who are sick.

Liza and Loretta and Edith and maybe more are very capable and quietly made things go ahead and we enjoyed the mornings.

Several of us went to Arlene Janot s memorial in Winfield church so did not get to join in the 1st AY but I hear it is also next Sabbath afternoon too.  

Thank you for being part of OCC today and making it a friendly great place to be.
