Those that belong to the Maxwell Social Club and other friends will miss Tommy Bodine, who passed away last week. Funeral service was held in the Maxwell Ebenezer Lutheran Church on Monday, Jan. 4. The Bodines have lived in Seguin since their home in Martindale burned a year ago. Sympathy is extended to Mrs. Bodine and family.
The best news this week is that our sick are all ok. Hulda Wisian is able to drive her car and all were glad to see her in church after recovering from surgery to remove a kidney. Jean Collier said nothing tasted better than the Christmas turkey and dressing that did not come through a tube. We are so thankful that both these ladies are doing so well. All the other “not so well’ are all doing ok. Thank you!
