My lovely granddaughter Lily, who just graduated high school. She has very straight hair and I had just given her some special curlers and she sent me this photo, so excited her hair had actually curled. She starts college here in Denver soon and we get to spend a lot of time together.

Hello all my old friends,
You have not heard from me in a very long time. I have been gravely ill but with God's grace I am getting back on my feet. For the last 6 years I have suffered with trigeminal neuralgia, a pain so debilitating it is difficult to describe. I was on 3 different anticonvulsants which make one into a zombie. Finally last February my neurologist chose brain surgery for me, to restructure the nerve area in my brain causing the pain. Miraculously I awoke in recovery pain free. Over the last months I have been weaned off the medications, and I feel like my old self. Recovery is slow but steady and will return me to normal. I have been following posts here and keeping up with you all with regular phone visits with our friends Steve Puckett and Barb Johnson. It's great to have been able to stay in touch all these decades, and many thanks for the hard work of our classmates who created this site for us.

Happy Birthday my good friend Steve. I am so happy we have kept our connection over all these years. I hope you have a really fun day.
Happy Birthday Steve. I sent you an email a couple of days ago and I hope you received it. You are one month and 4 days younger than I! I will call you soon and we can catch up. Thanks for being a good friend all these years, not just to me, but to all your classmates.
Well, darn...such sad news. What an amazing life he had. Our world was definitely a better place due to his presence. To his family, I am so sorry and I know you miss him terribly.
love to you all,
Carolyn
To Eileen's family I am so sorry to hear the sad news about your loss of your beloved Eileen. I remember her as kind and smart and very friendly to her fellow students. My heart goes out to all of you, and her friends, and I pray for you to have strength through this difficult time. I read that she was a writer of Christian fiction and I plan to search out her books. Love, Carolyn
Jack, I am so sorry for your loss. I have not seen Sandy since high school, but I remember her well as a sparking light, beautiful and kind. God bless you and your family.
love,
Carolyn
Robert, and all your family, I am so sorry for your loss and I know you miss her terribly. I didn't know her well in school but I do remember she was very much liked by her classmates, and so well thought of. I am glad you and she have had your faith to see you through this great transition. God bless you all.
Carolyn
Happy Birthday John. I hope you are well and happy.
