New Retirees

Congratulations Mary and Wilda on your well deserved retirement,
Wishing you every happiness in the years ahead.
No lying about your age, more lying around the house
After lying much longer in bed

As a chapter closes in your life,
And a new one starts for you,
May your years be filled with all the things
You've been looking forward to!

It is time to step aside
For a less experienced and less able man
It is time to do nothing
Because you can

It's No Job, No Stress, No Pay
It's goodbye tension...hello pension
It's spending your kids inheritance
It's when work never gets a mention

Take life with a pinch of salt
A shot of tequila and a wedge of lime
Do nothing at all
But take your time

All the meaning has gone out of weekends
Now you have a Life
With half the money

Have a terrific retirement
You earned it!

WILDA

Hello,
Good news, Wilda told us yesterday that her bone marrow scan was clear!!! She think she will coming home on June 11th. She is still very weak, needs to be build up some more of her strenght as well as improve her appetite. In July she will be returning to the hospital for a week of additional chemo.
She was so surprised to receive the card and donation from all the retirees and asked me to pass along her profound thanks and appreciation. Beth and I thought it would be nice for Wilda to spend some of this money on herself, which she agreed to do , she will buy some new clothes. Besides her hair, she also lost weight and some new outfits will benefit her getting well again.
Thank you all for being so kind!!
