This past week or so has been one of sadness for not only our youth group but our community as a whole.
A week ago Thursday, two students in our youth ministry lost their mom to a stroke. Jenny and Reba Wilson have experienced much adversity in their lives and it doesn't end with their mom passing away. Their dad died 7 years ago (cause unknown at this time) and their mom Becky had been raising them as a single mom since then. Jenny has moved in with her best friend here in Webster City, Hilary Lang. Reba has just today left for Georgia to live with an Aunt and Uncle there. Girls we are sorry for your loss and you are in our prayers.
Then this past Monday evening we had 4 teenage boys from Webster City involved in a tragic car accident that cost 2 of them their lives. Richard Goettsch and Micheal Carpenter died on Monday, December 10. Two others, Jamie Johnson and Nevin Reed were injured in the accident, but are said to be stable and beginning to heal physically.
For students in WC who may read this, there have been or are in the process of being created by WCHS students 2 MY SPACE pages in memory of Richard (in loving memory of Richard) and Micheal (title unknown but in progress). Be sure to search for them or ask your friends where to find them.
May God be with you all during this difficult time

SAD NEWS!
Hi all,
just a quick not to let you know some bad news...Amy and I just got back from the hospital in Boone, IA where Amy's Dad, Alan Odegaard, has passed away at the age of 61. He has been in poor health for a while and was admitted Wed AM at around 2 in the morning and hadn't been given much of a chance to recover from the sever pneumonia or even the possible Lung cancer he had.
Please continue to keep us and our family in our thoughts and prayers.
Thank you to those who have been a support to us this whole time,
Later EH!

FAMILY ODDS & ENDS
Here are just a few updates about members both sides of our family:
Being as it was Thanksgiving here in the US, we spent the majority of the day with both the Fletchall side of the family as well as the Odegaard family. It seems as though all that were present are doing well. Nieces and Nephews are growing taller and getting older. Family is getting larger in number as new "Special Someone's" enter into the picture.
As far as who was or wasn't there, I'm not going to go into great detail. But in terms of immediate family Amy's dad wasn't able to join us today as he has been struggling with the flew the last couple of days and living in Ogden, IA (we were able to talk to Alan tonight after the festivities were finished). Also, Amy's brother Eric, who is still in the Navy and stationed in San Diego, CA, was absent but on the brighter side we had a great conversation with him this evening while he was on break from his "Duties." As far as extended family goes, we missed bits and pieces from different families and for various reasons. But as noted most are doing well.
Please keep Grandma Gertie, in California, in your prayers. Your health is beginning to fail and she has spent time going back forth between the hospital's ICU and an Assisted Living residence. She is struggling with Colon cancer and has daily ups and downs.
I hope you all enjoyed this day with your family,
