Dear members and friends of Post 7369.
We are so sorry to report the loss of several members within the last month. Our dear Auxiliary member and Past President Dottie Cader, after several years of illness, passed and was hodored at a beautiful memorial service at the American Legion on April 12th. We would like to thank the Legion and AMVETS for making the service so nice for her family and friends.
A memorial service for Ed Arey, Post Trustee, was held to Fuller Funeral Home on April 18th.
“B.J.” (William Overton, our “gentle giant,” was honored at a memorial service at the First Christian Church.
Both Ed and “B.J.” were also remembered at a memorial at the Post on April 20th.
With the passing of these members, rhe Post has suffered a deep loss. We will miss them and never forget them. Our deepest sympathies are extended to their families and friends.
There are far too many names on our Sick Call. Pam Nedbalski is recovering from a mild heart attack, while her husband Mike is undergoing surgery in Tampa on May 7th. We love them both and will remember them in our prayers.
Jerry Sewell is now home, recovering from complications following a medical procedure. We wish him the best.
Jack Martins was released from NCH after receiving a pacemaker. We know we’ll be seeing him soon, cause “you can’t put a good Marine down without a fight.” Besides, he’s too ornery to go. We love you, Jack.
Also on our “recovery list” is “Dumpster Dave” Gretten, who underwent carotid artery surgery. He’s doind well and still playing lots of BINGO!
Phil Reader is also recovering from some serious surgery. Our Quartermaster is back to work and doing well, in no small part due to the efforts of his own angel, wife Sue. Good job, Sue!
Please keep all these folks in your thoughts and prayers. They all mean so very much to us.
Prayer: Dear God, help us to develop strong roots of love, faith and friendship. Make us strong and invite us to be stronger still. We can make it! Amen
Kathy Lynch, Auxiliary Chaplain
