Hey everybody! I know it’s been a hot minute since you’ve seen pics of Faith! This will get your smile tanks full again! Also we have ONE MORE CHEMO TO GO! It’s on her birthday of course but hey it’s a great birthday present to be cancer free! So we will take it! After all the poor kid has been through she did loose 2 1/2 pounds, her base weight prior to all this was 17.5, but with the help of the NG tube she is back up to 16.5lbs! Yay! Sorry for late posting but here is Christmas and New Years!

Thanks everyone!! I have been taking Sienna to church with me to help control pain. They just love her, the Pastor always makes sure he gets to talk & pet her before & after the service.
SOB & I thought it would be nice to share her & Midget's birthday with people who welcomed Sienna & I into the church. It was Midgy Widgy's first time in church.
We still was asked the usual question: are they really sisters? Yes, they really are sisters!!
Everyone was surprised we brought cupcakes & as one member said, look people are talking and having a good time instead of getting out the door & going home!! We were happy, the congregation was happy, and Sienna & Midge were happy!!!

Thinking about them All this time of year...but for those of you who truly know me...I'm just being me...May they never be forgotten...
 
Dear Ancestor
 
"Your tombstone stands among the rest
Neglected and alone
The name and date are chiseled out
On polished marble stone
It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn
 
You did not know that I exist
You died and I was born
Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh and blood and bone
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own
 
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so
I wonder how you lived and loved
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot
And come to visit you."

RESTORING THE CHILDS FAMILY MAUSOLEUM
 
Making badly needed repairs and renovations to the 120 year old structure, undoubtedly the most severely ravaged by time, the Childs Mausoleum got a badly needed recasing of block and a new beautiful hand made wrought iron door.
 
 
 
FINISHING TOUCHES COMPLETE THE RESTORATION

Preservation Society Board member Mel Amrhein replaced the black metal piping around the mausoleum this summer. 
The piping had been stolen over the years and Mel replaced it so it looks like it did when the mausoleum was first built. 
Board member Melanie McGinnis landscaped the mausoleum with Hostas and Day Lilies this summer, along with help from Zack Ball and Erick Carpino from Landscape One. Brian Coakley of Treasure Lake volunteered to help Melanie make borders around the mausoleum to keep the mulch in.
 
 
 Thanks so much to Scott Farrell, Ron Miknis, Ed Wells and Greg Vida from the City of DuBois. They volunteered after work to appy a coat of cement to the crumbling mausoleum at Rumbarger Cemetery as part of an ongoing effort to restore the historic site. Zack Farrell also helped out with the project. Zack will use the time he volunteered towards his community service for school. Thank you all for helping out. We really appreciate your time and efforts.
 
Marty Hrin of Hrin Masonry put the blocks back on the sides of the mausoleum. He did a great job putting the sandstone blocks back on after they sat for over 20 years stacked up by the building.
