By the time you get to read my column, four days will have have passed from the time I wrote it.

My husband has a massive blood infection; all of his skin that was burnt from the radiation is infected with cellulitis. He is holding his own, but has gained 14 pounds of fluid. His lungs are full, and he has to have them sucked out. (I have to leave the room when they do this, or they will be cleaning up after me.) Tuesday, March 10 was two years since my mother went to heaven. It’s been a tough week, but ya have to keep going one day at a time.

I missed the funeral for Jack Lang. He was such a cutie pie; I loved snapping his suspenders. When I would see him in church, he would look at me and I could not help but smile. He was so kind and generous and he raised his sons Ned and John to be the same way. I will never look at a Roto Rooter truck again and not think of him. May his family keep his memories alive and the stories flowing. I am going to miss you, Jack; rest in peace and smile down at all of us.

The Grover Hermann Hospital Auxiliary/Catskill Regional Medical Center will hold its first meeting of the year on Saturday, March 21 at 1:30 p.m. in the cafeteria of Grover Hermann. Items to be discussed are the health fair on the third Saturday in May and the children’s fair. RN Cindy Beach will be honored for her timeless efforts in recruiting new members into the auxiliary. Way to go, Cindy. For more information, call Dottie Schlegel at 845/932-8487.

On Saturday, March 14 at 5:30 p.m. the Knights of Columbus Holy Cross Church will hold a St. Patty’s Day complete Irish dinner.
