Dennis/THW's sister is gravely ill.

Dennis had a change of plans. Alaska Air will accommodate Donna and they will fly round trip since driving is no longer an option. They will apparently wait and go to services when called.

Change of plans.

Dennis and his wife Donna had visited his siter back at Thanksgiving.

For those familiar with Donna's medical issues she has a very necessary doctors appointment in two days.
Dennis is afraid a trip by automobile may over stress Donna at this time.
He is trying to make airline arrangements if possible after the doctors appointment.
Special accomodations for Donna will need to be made.

All your prayers and well wishes are appreciated.

Thanks for that info Mike, I was going to ask you what was happening about Donna as I didn't think she would be able to travel any distance.

Give Dennis and Donna my love when you are next in touch.

Hello Dennis look mate for what it is worth my and my families thoughts and sincere best wishes and we hope that she will not suffer and passes in peace.

I do have a little insight into what you are going through and know that you will be strong for her and your family - chin up my friend at this very sad time, we are all behind you.

So sorry to hear about this, our prayers are with you.

Sorry Dennis, I can't begin to imagine what you're going through. My heart goes out to you.

All of our thoughts are with you and your family, Dennis.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Don't give up hope, Dennis.

There's never a good time to say goodbye, nor is there never enough to encompass all that needs to be said, but I sincerely hope you get the chance to make the most of what precious time is available.

Update from Dennis...
The update is my Sister is failing rapidly(swelling now occurring on top of breathing) .My Brother is flying in this afternoon and will call us after he arrives.
Donna and I will probably be flying tomorrow.
Will keep in touch with you once we get there

That is sad. It doesn't sound as though there is much hope for her. I just hope and pray that Dennis, Donna, and the rest of the family manage to get to see her in time.
