Dear Ones-- I was so surprised to hear of Laverne's death--I usually check the computer -I really don't want to see anyone I know--but it does happen-It seems so long since I have been in that part of the country--we came back in 2006--Duane said "I think this is the last time we will make this trip" He was right--he died in April of 2007--a couple of months Iater I diagnosed with Parkinson's disease--Duane had cancer & asthma------Life is funny sometimes--my Parkinson's is pretty well under control--I do not have the Tremors in my hands----it is mostly in my legs-- I have fallen several times I always was a little clutsy HA---right now I am battling pain from 2 compression fractures in my spine---OUCH--But I am not going to give up----we just have to keep on keeping on --I still have places to go & people to see--our 61st class reunion is in Aug-I wish I could make it there--my son said he would come with me---but I don't think that will happen --I am high maintenance---I walk with a walker--I even dance with it--gotta keep in shape--you know -But never say never-------my thoughts & prayers are with you all --God Bless---Margean Huwe----
