JoAnn/Ken update 9/3

14 years ago

I just spoke with JoAnn.

Ken is in his final hours now. He is unresponsive and has been that way for more then 20 hours.

JoAnn and family are all by his side...they all spent the night in Ken's room last night.

I will post again for her when it is over.

Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers!

Ack! Thing! My Dearest Pal, Thing! I have been remiss again and not posted you my THANKS! Please forgive my lack in grace. I have not been myself and am very red in the face. As I creaked open this ghoulish box one cold and dreary night, out came tufts of spider webs flying through the air to catch in my hair. I felt creepy and spooky and all together ooky with all the frightful sights peering out at me from inside the devilish darkness that was looming within. A skeleton face stared back into my eyes. I nervously reached in to extract him with care, buried below was a dead gardener named Tracy. She was nothing but bones although wearing her finest gardening gear, sun hat complete with cobwebs and spiders. Cover-alls with TRACY stencilled across the bib, garden gloves and trowel on hands,ready to tend her gardens of the crypt. I then opened the black satchel that had the skull face with it's piercing glare. Inside were delightful treats to be shared. "Songs of Terror" CD to set the mood, Garden Plant Markers and Pencil with Bats flying out, Irises Superstition and Dangerous Mood, Tulips Queen of the Night to help add to my fright! There were orange and black spiders on webs and an icky, creepy, disgusting, gigantic centipede slithering about on top of the most adorable goody bags with Halloween critters flitting about, one final bundle contained nothing but sweet treats within! M&M's, Snickers, Milky Ways, Twix's and Nice Hershey Kisses! It was a wonderful night filled with Halloween Fright from my very special friend, Thing! Thank you Thing, with all of my heart! You made my day, cheered my mood, made me laugh and my children delight in all your generous sharing and heartfelt caring. I do apologize for my bad manners. Please forgive me for thanking you so late. Your gifs are loved and deeply appreciated. Many hugs! Tracy
