Hal Butts continues to have a tough time with respiratory issues. The problem appears to related to the cancer treatments he's been doing. Alternatives treatment meds are available though and it's believed the cancer growth continues to be arrested. Hal's at home on oxygen 24/7 but able to walk and get around. Please pray this issue clears as soon as possible as you keep Hal & Karen in your prayers (7/5/21)
Marilyn and Tom Green are facing the end of Tom's long battle with Parkinson's. Pray they feel the presence & peace that only our Lord can bring during this difficult time. (4/29/21)
Hal Butts had testing done early this month that will determine where his treatsment go from here. He has had 2 rounds of treatments thusfar. He's still doing well - pain is still not a big problem & he still has his apetite.
Results indicate his treatments continue to be very effective - ie, have reduced the cancer's ability to sustain itself. This by the way is a rare form of cancer that is impinging on Hal's spine.
Please continue to pray these treatments provide the complete healing we want Hal to have. Keep Karen in your prayers too, please. (1/13/21)

[This note is] to let you know that my beloved Lynda entered into life eternal at 11:00 am today, Saturday, March 16th. Our pastor, Pastor Brian, was here and had just finished singing two hymns and I told Lynda I loved her, as I had many, many times, and she stopped breathing as the grandfather clock struck 11 am. She had been on hospice for the past ten days and had been well cared for… with caregivers and many people in our lives providing much, much love, prayer, care and comfort. Thank you all for the significant parts that each of you have played in Lynda’s life and in my life. I love you.
Details need to be confirmed, but a possible celebration of Lynda’s life could be in three weeks. More details will follow as things are worked out. With love, Jerry
Please keep Jerry and his family in your thoughts & prayers during this difficult time of loss.

Hal Butts is having a tough time right now. He's been in MD Anderson, in isolation [from even the Covid patients] since Wednesday. He will probably be there for at least several more days while the medical folks try to figure out how to help him. He's having respiratory problems that may or may not be related to the cancer treatments he's been doing. Monday, samples are to be taken from his left lung to help determine what's causing the problems and what treatment(s) are needed. If I understood correctly, Hal's had issues with that lung for years.
