In the last issue of the newsletter, I mentioned that since his retirement a couple of years ago, Mike Collier and I have been having coffee several times a month. In February Mike and one of our friends and I had coffee and that day or the day after, Mike went to the doctor. He was diagnosed with cancer and is presently undergoing treatments which have been difficult; this week he was admitted to the hospital. I plan to visit Mike today and will report on his condition.
Cathy Johnson Garrett reports that her mother is the hospital and will be undergoing surgery today. Mrs. Johnson moved from Plantersville to the Jackson area in the late 90s. All three of her children live near Jackson.
My son-in-law's mother had a stroke Sunday morning. I plan to stay with her this afternoon.
That ends the hospital report.

Mother sailed through surgery without any problems. She came back to her room complaining about the oxygen tube in her nose and the compression stockings. When I left her with Paul around 4 pm, she was still feeling no pain. She underwent a mastectomy on the right side, mainly to remove the tumors that erupted. Her cancer had spread to her lymph nodes and her spinal column, and that cannot be treated. She will be entering hospice care at Manhattan Nursing Home upon discharge from St. Dominic's Hospital. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.
