I believe it was Jimmy Bennett who found them, Isn't that right Steve?  Vonda, I believe you went to school with him.  I heard that Michael was supposed to do some work for him that day and when he didn't show up, Jimmy went to check on him.  It is such a tragedy.  I saw Danny at the Dawson Gas Station about 3 Weeks ago and he was telling me that he was working at Bika's  but was going to try to get on where Steve works.  I told him I would pray about that with him!  He was saying how the place just wasn't the same with Daddy and Mommy gone and how much work Steve had to do to keep it like Daddy did.  I told him that it was a full time job and Steve could only work Part-time because he had to work a job.  =)   He seemed happy that Steve was his neighbor again though.

Ruth, from what the neighbor said that found them, the inside of the house had been on fire, mainly in the kitchen. Mike was my age, Danny was a few years older, and Lace was Mom and Dads age. Lace has two sisters that are in there eighties. I work with there first cousin Timmy. His dad was Laces brother. It appears to have happened Sunday night and they were found Tuesday afternoon. The boys were probably trying to get Lace out of the house from the looks of where they found them. He was bedfast.

Steve, does the Osbornes have relatives around? Were the three of them all there were in the family? What actually happened?

Glad to hear you made it home for a spell.  We love you guys and we are expecting more good news.  Keep us posted. Steve and Teresa.

We made it home. I'll post mor later

Thank you Trish for posting Waynes info. Love to all my family!

Hi Everyone, Alice had a good day, she was able to get the port installed, eat a baked potato, peas, ice cream and take the first treatment. We will wait now and see what the chemo does for the nest 18-24 hrs. Hopefully we will be headed home tomorrow.

Love and Prayers
Joe and Alice

so sorry to hear about your uncle Teresa , and about the Osborns. We just never know. Alice so glad to hear you are keeping some food down .praise the Lord .

No David hasn,t gotten a room mate yet but im sure it wont be long.Love you all.Have a Good Day In The Lord.

I am so very sorry to hear about the Osbornes. Were these all children of Lacy and Helen, or is Lacy the father? Helen and Danny stayed with us in Charleston when Danny had some kind of surgery years ago. Are they all the family, or were there others away from home?

Alice, I am so glad to hear that you are able to keep some food down. My prayer this morning was that your chemo not be hard on you.

Alice, that is good news for you! So glad the food is staying down. Praise the Lord! Daniel, where are you staying while you are there with Alice? In the room with her? I hate that she has that 3 or 4 hours drive back. Will she have to come back to Louisville for each treatment?

I was so sorry to hear about the Osbourns. And your uncle too, Teresa.

Alice

Hi Everyone, Our day wet well. They took the ng tube out this morning and she was able to eat some ice cream and tomato soup. Tomorrow they are schedule to put the chemo port in and give her the first treatment. They will observe her for 24 hours after the chemo and if all is well we may be able to come home on Thursday.

Love and Prayers

Danny, Michael, and lacy Osborne ( mommy and daddys neighbors) were all found dead in their home. Apparently a fire inside their home with smoke inhalation. Steve went up and may be able to shed a little more light on it.

Happy Birthday!

We are having a birthday get together at Meadow Grove Baptist Church on February 18th from 2-4 for Jesse, Danny, and Jacob. We will have lots of food and lots of cake! No gifts! Hope to see everyone there!

I continue to pray for Alice and for you too, Danny H.

Teresa, I am sorry to hear about your Uncle Wayne. Likewise, Vonda, we were sorry to hear of David's roommate's passing. Has David gotten a new roommate yet?

It has been brought to my attention that our vital family information (which we tracked in the book we made for Daddy) has not been updated since before Marleigh's birth which was on March 8, 2010 (Monica, correct me if I am wrong). We would like birthdates (of those born into the family or added by marriage), marriage dates and divorce dates (of course I have Mommy's and Daddy's death dates). Those of you who have had any of these occur in your family please e-mail that information to me or put it on the blog and I will update that for everyone.

Trish, I, too, really like the blog's new look. Why, if I were just half as technically savvy as you are, I might be dangerous!

Daniel and Alice you are both in our prayers and we love you guys.

Also, I would like for you all to pray for my family we lost my Uncle Wayne this evening at about 10:30. He was a great man who will be greatly missed.

Happy birthday Kaiden!

Rita, remember this:

Children are often spoiled because no one will spank Grandma.

Happy Birthday, Kaiden.

Update on Alice
Hi Everyone, Alice's condition is improving, but slowly, today we are supposed to try a liquid diet again. They aren't putting in a port for chemo today , They are going to wait until she is feeling better because Alice said they were =). We refused to have it put in today until at least she can eat and keep it down.We may be able to be discharged by Thursday.
God is GOOD
Love and Prayers

Daniel, Give Alice our love and let her know she is in our prayers...You too Danny!!  Can you believe it!??  Today my baby boy turns 4.  Where has the time gone?  And how did he get so spoiled in such a short time!!  Somebody needs to step up and take responsibility for that!! =)  Happy Birthday Kaiden!

~Rita~

He does but he has mommy's chin.

I think Steve looks like daddy in the new picture!

Alice

She had a rough night last night, she threw-up most of the night, so they put in a pump. Hopefully this will keep her stomach empty until it wakes up from the surgery. Please say a prayer for us at church today. Monday is supposed to be the cemo port.

Love and Prayers
