Uncle Bernie Mathews

Hi All
Keep Uncle Bernie in your prayers today. Aunt Jackie called my house today to say that he is in the hospital as he had a blood clot that travelled to his lung. He is apparently stable at this time. Maybe Debbie can fill us in as he recovers. Debbie please let him know that we are all thinking of him.

Thanks everyone. My dad is doing very well in hospital. He had some shortness of breath which brought him in to the ER. The next day they found a blood clot in his leg. A CT scan revealed large clots in both lungs. The doctor said he was shocked to find this since my dad had no real pain and his vitals were good. For whatever reason his body was coping abnormally well with what was going on. He's been given the gift of more time with us, thankfully, and we're happy to have him. I'll let him know you're thinking of him. He loves all his nieces and nephews.
I'll keep Anne's mom in my prayers as well.

Bochsler Family Update

By
Last week I tried to "encourage" my family to post to this blog. I sent them all TERRIBLE pictures of themselves and threatened to post them here if they didn't post their own. Although they all responded soon enough to my threat, nobody has updated this blog yet. To be fair, this sort of thing is easier for me to do so I'll give a general update on the family. I won't post those nasty pictures just yet, because I'm sure there are some of me floating around and I don't want to start a war. You may remember there are 6 kids, in order of age: Mark, Colleen, Paul, David, Kathleen & Kevin. Hearing it listed like that reminds me of being called for dinner. :) Mom and Dad (Maureen and Al) are both in good health and living in that big house you remember in Ancaster. The house and property itself would look very different to many of you as my Dad's projects have really transformed the place. There are no more big willow trees (and no more treehouse!) :( ...

Remembering Sean

By
The remaining Barrys. This picture was taken at Sean's funeral. Sean's absence is definitely felt. The last time I saw Sean, was about a year ago, the end of March '06. My husband, Brian and I showed up unannounced at his place and he graciously entertained us. If he had other plans, he never mentioned them. My brother, Brian has a pub in Camrose, AB. Sean apparently would stop in daily and drink coffee, wanting to stay in touch. Brian had a new year's eve party a couple of month previous, so I asked Sean if he'd gone. He said no, he'd quit drinking and realized that a new years eve party would probably not be conducive to achieving his goals. He'd also recently quit smoking. I remember thinking that was a lot to give up all at once, but of course didn't want to say anything to discourage him. Sean also had a dream to buy himself all new camping gear and go on a camping trip. This he did at the end of the summer. After achieving his goals, his heart gave...
