This is a picture one of the kids photo copied and sent to me.  I had a good laugh.  Apparently I am a popular subject on the social network with these kids.

Thank You! Linda (Kane) Donahue!! 

Prayer Request coming your way for Carolyn!

Hi Rose and the Lantern Gang,

 

Carolyn will undergo surgery tomorrow for the removal of a Melanoma on her back.

All blood work, XRay and EKG..showed normal..so we are optimistic.....

Please keep her in your prayers as we need all the help we can get for something like this...

Will advise you when it's over....with hopefully good news....

It's not really a mole...it's circular lesion that she has had for along time. It has never changed but we are beyond the Dermotologist now.   The Dermo doctor sent us to the UConn Medical Center after the biopsy determined it was a Melanoma and cancerous but on a low grade at the moment.

She went also went back to the Dermotologist for a full body scan for anything suspicious and that went OK It was an EKG for some reason besides the XRay and blood work.

However the medical center took all of the above tests and we spoke with the surgeon who was most confident that it has not spread and this will be a one day procedure.  

 

We are hoping all of what he said rings true and if you can ask our Lantern friends to help us with prayers that would be a relief and a great comfort.  Im sure Carolyn will feel better with more support.

Thanks to you and all of our friends on the Lantern.

 

God Bless, Sal Carmosino

To Carolyn,

Hugs, Rose and the Lantern Gang!

Great Shares from Ruthie!

Hi Rose, 

So sorry this is late, but still wishing you an awesome birthday! Wishing you good health and prosperity in the coming year. 

Also, thank you for all the work and time spent keeping our class of '62 together and updated on each other. 

Without you I doubt if we would have had such well attended, successful, and enjoyable brunches, luncheons, and reunion. 

     Happy Birthday!!

Ruthie

Great Shares from Sal Carmosino!

Hi Rose,

   

When I sent Ron Lanza a birthday message,  We both discovered that we lived only two towns away. So we agreed to meet at a coffee shop and spent 3 hours talking about old times.  Who knew he was so close?  

Thanks to the Lantern this made it possible.
