Editor, Carroll Post: Ted and Lois spent all of February
and few days of March this year with us, camped in my
side side. In spite of all the wet ground and other obstacles,
they appeared to enjoy the break from the cold Michigan
weather.They left in early March to go to the Michigan
Academies Reunion at Altamonte Springs, and after visiting
some of their friends in central Florida came back to
pick up their camper and head back to Michigan by way
of West Virginia and Tennessee. "For the Lord himself shall descend
from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel
and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall
rise first; Then we which are alive and remain shall
be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet
the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the
Lord."1 Thess 4:16,17 After a few months "at
home" Ted came down with pneumonia and spent 11 days
in the hospital. When he felt well enough to come home
we was brought home only to find that we was still having
some breathing problems.Another trip to the doctor found
with with 24/7 oxygen to assist in his breathing. It was
not many more days before he died at home. They had purchased
2 lots many years ago ($200 each) in Holly and that is
his final resting place.)
