Last night after class I found that I had missed some calls only to find out that my sister-in-laws grandfather had passed away.
Some of you my remember my brother Tony & his wife Holli, they came to class a few times only to find themselves serving at the Firewheel campus, where they attend today. Holli's grandparents live in Oklahoma and just celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary this past weekend.
They have a home that has air conditioning but with the state of the economy on them, her grandfather opted to not run the A/C. Holli's mom, who lives here in Dallas as well, usually calls daily to remind the grandmother to takes her meds etc and to check on daily events. With no luck of them answering that call, Holli's mom decided to call the Sheriff. The Sheriff's department found them both on the floor of their extremely hot home. Unable to bring the grandfather back, the EMT's managed to keep the grandmother alive and on to the hospital. She is in stable condition but has no idea of who anyone is or what has happened.
Why I am sharing this? One for the wonderful prayer support our ABF can provide for my sister-in-law and secondly to remind those with grandparents or older love ones, that you need to keep an eye out on them especially with this summer heat we have all come to love!
Thanks,
John Elliott
