Thank You   To all the members and friends of Lakeview Methodist Church. For all the kindness and generosity in moving me from my house to my new apartment, and all the dedication and work in setting up and attending to the estate sale.

A letter from a loved one Dear Brother David,    And if you are receiving this, you are indeed a friend.  I just wanted you to know how very grateful I am that you were a part of my life.    It has been a wonderful life; thanks to my parents and sibs; my good husband, Ted; our five wonderful children, their families and friends like yourself.    Keep on growing, glowing and knowing that we will meet again.  But…

Dear Lakeview Congregation, Today we received your THREE wonderful checks.  They came just at the right time to help us make this week’s payroll.  Your generosity from the Mission & Outreach Committee; the United Methodist Men’s Group, and the United Methodist Women really saved the day for us.  We are so very grateful to have friends like you.  I am looking forward to coming to TNT on October 10 to share with you what is happening at the Justa Center. …

Pearline’s Story We have all heard stories from agencies about their good works but how often can we put a face that has been helped with a particular agency.  This is Pearline’s story.  Pearline is now 91 and a valued member of Lakeview United Methodist Church in Sun City, Arizona. Back in 1956, Pearline was a single mother with a boy (4) and a girl (5) and was living in Oakland, California.  She was offered a promotion but this position…

Friends A Friend is one, who “know us” – our guilt and our shame – Regardless of our many sins Friends love us just the same. Years ago, I wrote those lines trying to describe “Friends.” Tell me:  what is your version? – “Your wisdom, never ends.” “A Friend in need, is a friend, indeed” – as the old “saying” goes – Friendship is much more than that – as anybody knows. – We have all kinds, so many Friends…

In tribute to our youngest daughter who left early (March 2019) to be in the middle of the Heavenlies. Hearing the patter of her small feet, I glanced at the glowing clock.  Five a.m. it read.  Instinctively I slid over to the center of the bed knowing that our little morning visitor was on her way.  She was too big for pajamas with feet in, so she claimed; and with lowered night temperatures and a nightly ritual of kicking off…

A quick heartfelt note to thank all my visitors while I was in Boswell Hospital and Rehab.  Especially Pastor Linda and Pastor   Ross. Also, there were several Stephen Ministers and many, many friends.  And then there were all the cards.  In addition to our local people, were cards from out of town. They all gave me a very special feeling of being watched over by angels due to all the prayers.  Thanks to all, I am well on the…

Caring for our Soul We wish to thank the church members for their heartwarming                                     cards,  concerns and prayers regarding my past illness, but most of all your prayers.  It has been a tough first quarter of 2019 for us but      with your love and thoughtfulness we are weathering the storm. The days get long lying in a hospital bed or recuperating at home, but your caring has lifted our spirits and helped the healing process.      Thank you, Connie…

The End of the Pier There’s an old Irish saying when you say, “How are you doin” – – they say, “sure, and I’m comin to the end of the pier” I thought about it and it’s kind of neat! We’re all walking along the pier – – Sometimes we stop and make friends Along the way, or help someone whose fallen down. The only Rule is we can’t go back, only forward. Now, some fall off the pier before…
