Wishing you a Happy Easter
Rejoice for he is risen
Sorry it's even lighter this month.
I can see why Roscoe only puts the Keeney UpDate out four times a year, this will be the last monthly issue unless some contributions are sent in. I will continue to put out issues on an irregular basis otherwise.
I Need people to send me stories to put here
From the inbox.....
Dan,
Thank you for sending out that note to your email list. I've had several people send me notes as well! We thought he might be moved this week to a nursing facility, but he was moved to ICU instead. Yesterday, however, he was much improved, but still in ICU. I really appreciate how family, regardless of how removed their line is, have been so kind.
