I just received word from John Szychowski's sister, Carol, that John suffered a mini stroke yesterday (Friday, March 29) and is currently at the Veterans' Hospital in Ann Arbor. An MRI showed a small blood clot on the left brain, and it caused him to lose the use of his right hand. The doctor told him that it was good he got there early.  He also told Carol that he is having surgery next week, but he wasn't specific about what type of surgery. Please keep Pie Man in your prayers and I will try to keep the class updated as I receive more information.

I have some updated information regarding the health of a few of our classmates. 
First, Sheri Houstin Speweik had emergency stomach surgery the other day. This followed complications after her back surgery. She was in intensive care over the weekend. I am not sure of the current status. The last I heard she still couldn't receive visitors, but prayers are encouraged!

Next, I have an update from John "Pie Man" Szychowski following his stroke and surgery from a couple of weeks ago.  "I had a mild stroke 13 days ago that had me in the hospital for a week.  Had surgery on my main artery to unclog blockage.  Surgery was successful, and now home.  Confined to my right hand, and it is improving already.  Thank you for all the prayers I have received during this time.  I know many did not here this news so wanted to let friends know I am doing ok and bouncing back.  The Lord is good.  Some lifestyle changes are being made to diet, weight loss and walking more.  Thank you all at the VA hospital in Ann Arbor, MI for the great care I was provided.  Top notch."

Finally, the last time I contacted Rose Corcoran Smith she was still recovering from pneumonia.  Her chemotherapy treatments were on hold until the pneumonia diagnosis passed. She had been hospitalized twice for the pneumonia.  Please keep Rose and all of our classmates with health issues in your thoughts and prayers!

John,  Glad to learn that you are now home and making progress after your stroke.  Sure it must have been very scary.  Will be praying that you regain your strength and that you get stronger in short order!  Blessings to you.

Paul,   Thank you for notifying our class on the death of Rose Corcoran Smith.  She was such an upbeat lady, always ready to step up when help was needed.  She was so precious and will be a great loss to our class.  Thank you for taking on the difficult task of  sending out the word to us of her passing.  God Bless!

Kathy Earl (Bowes)

Paul, I have no words. I am so sad about Rose's passing. She made me feel so welcome when I started going to the lunches. I am going to miss her. I have missed her.

Sandra Kives (Murnen)

I am so sad to hear this.  Rose was a special person, she will be missed.  Love and prayers to her family, may she RIP.
