just an update

For those of us who missed the activities held to support Troy Van Norman, because we are long distances away, and winter weather is the order of the day..be reminded while he battles health issues...there is an alternative way to help...should you wish to "say a card of hello", remember his family in your prayers, or slip a little extra in an envelope, it is important to know that Jake Brown has stepped up to assist. If you find you can do any of the above, keep Jakes address handy.

That is all of the information that was passed along to me, and if you need any extra information, send a private message to Rydns...

gracias.

ps. When my daughter was injured, I received cards and letters from folks I did not know...folks who visit here, often. Kindred spirits. These gifts of encouragement, provided me with hope, and continue to sustain me, even today. I saved them all. It would astound me, when someone I did not know slipped a $20.00 in a card..and it made all the difference in my day..."lunch money" while at the lonely hospital..I never had to worry. Your love and kindness held me to the light, day after long day. Helped me remember that there was still life outside of those dismal 4 walls. I knew someone was out riding their pony...and soon I would be too...

I intend to help out here, as much as I am able.

For those in the area, there is a benefit for Troy this weekend at Spring Creek Horse Palace in Spring Creek, Nevada. It will be a branding and bronc riding, silent auction. It starts at either 11 or 1, I am not sure, but I will be there. Please join me and Red in supporting this. The Van Norman family has contributed SO much, if you can't help out any other way, please remember them in your prayers. Troy is still in Texas, but your prayers can be with him whever treatment takes him.
