It is with a heavy heart that we share some difficult news. Eric’s Dad, Wilson Riedy, has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Due to his age & many other factors, he is forgoing treatment. Hospice care has begun to make him as comfortable as possible during his last few months. Please pray for Wilson, Eric’s Mom, Dottie, and the rest of the family. Especially pray for wisdom for our family as we deal with this from a distance. Decisions need to be made of who can visit when, flying or driving, how to balance school & work commitments, and more. Eric and Amanda are out in Pennsylvania this week to visit his dad and the rest of our family there.
On a positive note, the sale of the family home has just been completed. This will be a big burden lifted, especially as winter weather begins to set it. Allentown expects to have its first snowfall today. Surprisingly, we actually beat our Northern friends and family to the punch by having our first snowfall in Little Rock yesterday. We have never had a winter wonderland this early since we moved down here!
