Sad News...
W. Bro. Frank Wilson reports that W. Bro. Tom Benoit's wife, Nadine, Nadine, passed away this morning. She had been in the hospital for about 10 days, with excessive fluid retention. They had been married for over 60 years.
Brother Tom was distraught at the loss of his "life long" companion.
Arrangements are for a 'wake' on Friday evening and Funeral on Saturday morning, in Kentwood, La, where they had moved (about 100 miles away) about 2 years ago, to live with their Son.
W. Bro. Wilson will be going up there Saturday (tomorrow) morning, if anyone wants to go along.
Our prayers and sympathy to W. Bro. Benoit and his family.

Sick List
W. Bro. Frank Wilson reports that W. Bro. George Carlile is back in the hospital ... it seems that when he had his Gall Bladder removed, there was some 'stones' in the intestines that the Doctor "missed" and he has been in constant pain. He is in Meadowcrest, and they will do some exploratory surgery to determine how far his intestines are blocked.
Prayer are requested for W. Bro. George, and W. Bro. Wilson will be keeping us posted on his condition.
