It is Eric. We met this past summer in CDG airport. We were struggling to get a flight home Stateside…I made it. You mentioned a DR you wanted me to email. I am interested in finding out more. Please send me some information. I hope all is well. Keep Fighting.

I am praying and have put you on my church’s prayer chain. I have been to Portland many times, my brother used to live there. I live in Murrieta and am married to Jerry Fitzgerald. We have 3sons and 1 daughter and 6 grandchildren. Jerry has had some health problems and was in the hospital for the reunion and we could not make it. I am a pre-school teacher and will be going back to work in 3 weeks. I love my job. I will write again.
Love and prayers,
Noreen

I hope you remember me after all these years. I was not able to go to the reunion but Cathy sent me some pictures. You look 35!!!

It sounds like you have found heaven in Portland as I have in Denver.

You are in my prayers.

Stella

Sandy sent me your email and I am sorry to hear of your recent health problems. I will pray for you.

A couple of years ago Mary-Lou Fraizer was having a problem coughing for many months. She had the best doctors, Stanford, Mao Clinic but still these great minds could not detect what she had.

All along many, many people were praying for God’s will to be done. You know that means we want a miracle ASAP!

Mary-Lou entered the San Francisco heart-lung program. One day she went to see the doctor in SF for a monthly briefing. My husband, her husband and me went with her. Long story short she’s cured!!!!!!!! Praise the Lord. The doctors were astonished and have no idea what happened but we do. God’s will was done.

This Easter all four of us will be going on a 14 day cruise through the Panama Canal and other exotic places with names I cannot pronounce or spell.

Mary-Lou and I have been friends since freshman year 1959. Our husbands are great friends. They love to smoke cigars and drink Jack Daniels. You can always find Mary-Lou and me singing show tunes and anything from the 1950′s. She still has a dynomite voice and continues to sing semi-professionally.

So, God has a plan for you and it will be a wonderful adventure. Maybe not pleasant at times (Mary-Lou’s hair fell out) but if He brings you to it He will bring you through it. I’ve witnessed a miracle with Mary-Lou and I have no doubt what God can do, anytime, anywhere with anyone.

When times get rough remember that your darkest hour is 60 mintues long. May God hold you in His arms, comfort you along this path and breathe life into your body everyday.

Love and friendship,

Michele LaDuke Ball
