   Good idea, Steve. I'd love to participate. Probably only room for
5-6, given her room size? MaryJean

    As Lincoln House is just minutes from my house, I have been
visiting Darlene once or twice a week, and at Rev. Joan's suggestion,
read her the weekly bulletin last week, which she enjoyed. Then I
remembered my experience in singing with the All Souls Jubilee Singers
at Nursing Homes in the Washington area and seeing resident
periodically join in on songs they knew. In one case, a staffer told
us the person had not spoken in two years! As you may remember, Dave
invited members of the choir to their house from time to time to sing
from the hymnbook with Darlene. So tomorrow or Friday I am going to
visit her with the hymnal and invite her to sing some familiar hymns
with me. If she responds positively, I will let you know and perhaps a
small number of us can do this from time to time.

        Below is sad update on Dave Grundy's health. Our thoughts go
to both Dave and Darleen.

   Hello friends,
 Dave, Matt, and Nancy met this morning with the palliative care team
at UVM Medical Center. I’m sorry to tell you that the cancer Dave
has is too widespread and aggressive for treatment and so the next
stage of his care will be hospice. Dave will be moved soon to Mayo
Healthcare’s hospice facility in Northfield.

 This afternoon (11/28), Dave underwent surgery to remove a blockage
near his bladder. Doctors were concerned about renal failure. I
don’t know the results of that surgery as of this writing, but
doctors were confident that they would be able to remove the blockage.
When Dave has recovered from the surgery, the move to Mayo Healthcare
will go forward.

 Dave cannot see visitors at this time, but when he is settled in
Mayo, we’ll post visiting information.

 As for cards and letters, keep sending to the home address for now.
We’ll get the mail to Dave quickly. We’ll be sure to let you know
if and when this changes.

 Thank you so much for your love and outreach to these wonderful
friends who’ve touched all of our lives, and your loving support at
this difficult time. We’ll update you again soon. Thank you!   

   Thank you,   -Bill Paine
