Richmond Family Updates

(Written by Becky) “We’ve just been handed a miracle.” This was the title of an email Dad sent me yesterday after a chaotic exchange of phone calls back and forth between Michigan, New York and London. Remember a few weeks ago, we mentioned that the doctors needed to test tissue matter from Mom’s biopsy for […]

(Written by Becky) I just talked to Mom who is still in the hospital in Michigan. She’s going back to her retreat in a few hours and is just waiting for the doctor to make his rounds and sign-off on her discharge from the hospital. She says the pain in her leg and the swelling […]

(Written by Becky) I just talked to both Mom and Dad for quite some time. They asked me to update you, our family and friends. Mom is still in the hospital in Michigan. She was disappointed to be missing the classes at the retreat she’s on but they have offered for her to stay next […]

(Written by Becky) I can’t stop thinking about a poem my Gramp taught me called “America for me!” by Henry Van Dyke. Look it up! It’s about living in Europe and coming home. Keith and I are moving home. As soon as possible. We want our family to be together during this difficult time. We […]

In every season of my life, there is still a reason to sing. Thank you for your prayers. Love Chris  

I’m going to a retreat for 10 days!  I found a 10 day program for health renewal, detox, immune system support – raw foods, juice, wheat grass, etc.   The kind woman I talked with on the phone is a Christian, and she told me also the Director is as well.  He also is a stage […]
