Farewell to a friend.

A close family Friend passed away last night- Ed Novak, next door neighboor to Derick for most of his life, died from lung cancer. We spent many Thanksgivings with their family, and attended the weddings of two of their three children. The youngest is scheduled to get married next month. We are so saddend by this- he was in his early to mid 60's and other wise in perfect health. He hadn't smoked in about 35 years and only smoked a while in college. He was diagnosed in Late October. Please pray for his family had this sad time.

Also, earlier on Friday, we found out that Derick's 94 year old Grandmother was rushed to the hospital. the details are sporadic (translated through a husband...) but aparently it has something to do with her heart. please keep her in your prayers as well.
