Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that
never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help
or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I
fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand,
sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word incarnate, despise not my petitions,
but, in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen.

Tony Pagano, PFN, Most Holy Rosary Assembly 2170, Harrison, Ohio has
Gall Stones and will have to have surgery to remove the Gall Bladder.
However, this is complicated by the fact that he has Pancreatitis and
has a cyst on it. Evidently, the Gall Stone created some sort of
blockage in the Pancreas. So, the plan is that Tony will stay in the
hospital a week or more. Surgery will not occur until between 2-6
weeks. They want to wait until the Pancreas is better. Tony is in
quite a bit of pain. Please keep Tony in your prayers.

Sir Knights,
I do have cancer, doctor looks for
about 6 month life expectancy. He
suggested chemo, said that would
only make me sick. Surgery is tough
at my age and would lay me up for 6
weeks, probably would not extend the
life expectancy. We have an
appointment with some folks to
remove the drains from my liver.
Thanks for your prayers. Bill

Sir Knights,
Brother Francis’ surgery was successful and he has
transferred from the trauma unit to acute rehabilitation
on the 6th floor at U of
M. He has therapy daily beginning at
9:30 with physical, then occupational, then lunch,
then physical, then occupational – finishing at 3:00. And
after that I’m guessing he will be ready to rest! Due to
space limitations, it’s best not to send flowers or
planters. Rather, Brother Francis says prayers are
appreciated.
Brother Francis can be reached on his cell phone in the
evening at
313-410-9401. If you do stop by in the evening,
ask for Gary Boylan.

Dear Fr. Louis Hennepin Province Brother
Sir Knights and Ladies,
Greetings from beautiful downtown DeWitt,
Michigan, where women
are strong, men are good looking, and children are
above average!
To re-cap, Ben suffered a massive stroke on the right
side of his brain on Friday April 16th. The cause of his stroke was Atrial
Fibrillation, in which a blood clot traveled from his heart up thru his carotid
artery to his brain. He was hospitalized for 2-weeks in the Ingham Medical
Center in Lansing, where he received stroke patient tender loving care. Then he
stayed for 2-weeks in the Tender Care West Nursing Home, where he received
rehabilitation care thru occupational and physical therapy. We brought him back
home with us on Friday May 14th, where he received in-home nursing care and
physical therapy.
Now for an update, Ben suffered a massive stroke on
the left side of his brain on Sunday May 23rd. Atrial Fibrillation
was also
the cause of his second stroke. The Ingham Medical Center Emergency Room doctor
conferred on the phone with a neurologist, who proposed giving Ben clot buster
medication. After listening to the ER doctor's description of the plus and
minus aspects of this medication, we told him to go ahead with the procedure of
administering it to Ben.
All day long on Monday, Ben could not speak or
move his right arm or leg, and he kept his eyes tightly shut. Also, he did not
respond to any voice commands. It was as if he was in a deep coma. On Tuesday,
he opened his eyes, spoke clearly, and responded to voice commands by raising
his right arm and leg. The hospital dietitian, who was concerned about his
ability to swallow, gave him a small portion of applesauce and jello, as well as
a small bite of a graham cracker. He had no trouble swallowing, so she declared
that he could eat any type of food that he wanted to.
This 100-year-old
man, who is my favorite father-in-law, has now survived 2-massive strokes that
would've killed most people! He is the oldest person in the USA to be given the
clot buster medication! This is nothing short of a miracle!
Praise God
from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him all you creatures here below;
Praise Him above you heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
Please continue to keep Ben in your daily thoughts and prayers! Thank you!
5/26/2010
Thank you for your prayers! Continue your prayers.
Please pass this memo on.
Joan's health is improving.
Probable cause
of the stroke is Atrial Fibrillation - a heart rhythm problem. Under control
with medication.
She is starting rehab today at the Heartland Nursing
Home in Canton.
Pray for us, as we will pray for you!

Worth Sir Knights & Ladies of Father Hennepin Province:
Greetings from beautiful downtown DeWitt, where women are strong, men are good
looking, & children are above average!
My 99-year-old father-in-law, Benjamin H. 'Ben' Klinkhamer, suffered a mild
heart attack last Thanksgiving Day Holiday weekend, and received a heart
pacemaker at Ingham Medical Hospital in Lansing in mid-December. Prior to that
he lived alone in his house on the west side of Lansing. Since then, he has
been living with my wife, Kay, and I in Dewitt. Ben celebrated his 100th
birthday on Tuesday May 23rd. We are hosting a family reunion picnic
celebration, of this wonderful milestone in his long life, on Sunday June 6th in
Riverside Park in beautiful downtown DeWitt! His relatives will be coming from
far and wide across the U.S.A.
Please pray for him, because he suffered a massive stroke on the right side of
his brain on Friday April 16th. He spent the next 2-weeks in the stroke patient
wing of the Ingham Medical Hospital in Lansing for testing and care. And then
the next 2-weeks at the Tender Care Nursing Home in Lansing for rehabilitation
care, and occupational & physical therapy. We got him back home to our house
last Friday. He has lost his short term memory, and is quite confused.
Ben is truly a blessing to have living with us. Our 2-sons, our youngest
daughter, and their spouses also live in Dewitt, along with 8 of our
10-grandchildren. They come over regularly to visit their grandfather, and
great-grandfather. He enjoys playing cards with them and with us. Our oldest
daughter lives in Haslett with her husband, so they are only 15-minutes away.
She has the other 2 of our 10-grandchildren.
Thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers for Ben!

Karl Habig who is Frank's 10 year old

The operation went well, and it took a
little longer for the swelling to go
down than expected. He got his cast
after the swelling went down. He was
allowed to come home. He has a
therapist and that is going well. Karl
went back to school and seems to be
doing fine with the foot with his

Prayers needed for my 10 year old cousin Adam Habig again. If
you remember he had his feet operated on and was locked
together for a period of time. "Time for Karl to get the
screws and plates out of his legs. After much thought, and
asking for many second (and third, and fourth, and fifth)
opinions, we decided to go with the doc's recommendation to
have the surgery on the left foot re-done, too. Seems that the
arch on the left foot didn't come down as nicely as on the
right, so the weight-bearing is still on the ball and heel of
the foot. This can lead to foot pain, joint pain, and the
like, so we decided to go ahead with it while Karl is young,
lightweight, and will heal quickly. Plus, they won't have to
go in and get the staple from his heel, so hopefully he won't
need another surgery. Karl was against the re-do at the
beginning, but now he seems ok with it, and doesn't seem too
anxious about the surgery, so that's a good thing. The
challenges will come afterwards when he has to deal with a
cast again, especially during the 3 non-weightbearing weeks.
His school doesn't have an elevator, so he'll have trouble
getting upstairs to his classroom. We'll have to help him
upstairs in the am, and retrieve him in the afternoon.
Thankfully that will only be for 3 weeks." Thanks for your
prayers, Jane and Tom -- Jane Kammer Habig

For your information, Larry had cervical
spine surgery on March 28th. His recovery is
going very slowly!
He has an appointment tomorrow to see the
surgeon and hopefully we will get some
answers to why he is having so much intense
arm and hand pain.He cannot be out of bed
for longer then 10 minutes until the pain
gets so severe he has to go back to bed. So
I can't wait to get him to the doc tomorrow
and see what he says. Maybe this is totally
normal, we just don't know.
They had to fuse C3-C7 and screw a rod
in place to stabilize his spine. He has
some spinal cord damage which cannot be
repaired but the surgery should keep the
damage from progressing. Just thought
you might be interested in knowing this.
I will keep you posted as to his
condition. Larry is a Former Master
from Ohio. Thanks.

My brother Mike had surgery today for the
cancer they found Friday. The Dr. said it
was big and deep but he feels that he has it
all. The final results of the testing may be
known Thursday when he has another exam. The
stitches will be taken out early in April.
Prayers got him through this far and
continued prayers will see him cured. Mike
thanks everyone for all the prayers. Keep

possibly not wearing oxygen 24/7. I have up

I am happy to inform you that Fred was discharged from the hospital
yesterday. With all tests performed, they found nothing is wrong with his
heart. However, the lungs are giving him some discomfort. With tests and
biopsy they have ruled out all known illnesses, and they are trying to figure
out what the new one he has!
He is home recovering now, breathing is under control.

Brothers,
I'm asking for prayers again for my father, Bob Collins, Sr. He has been in
and out of the hospital the past couple of weeks. He has some tumors on his
lung that contain cancer. I know with your help we can beat this again.
He is a 6 -7 year kidney cancer survivor and 3 year survivor of cancer in
the lining of the bladder.
The cancer is just looking for a new place to challenge him.
Prayers work. I truly believe that you can pray a person healthy. You have
helped do it twice before.

Saturday into Sunday update,
John is doing very well, but the doctors are stubborn. He could have been
released except for one blood test is still low. Due to the heart valve
surgery he is to be on blood thinners for life and the level was still too
low. We even have disagreeing physicians cardiologist says let him go &
surgeon says no. We are both very frustrated by this and due to the weekend
it's not likely to get better until Monday.
Blessings to you all on this 1st Sunday of Lent. John is a member of Precious

Fred was having trouble with breathing and dizziness of late. His energy level
was at a minimum level as well. So I took him to our family physician
yesterday when I had no luck reaching his cardiologist.
Our family doctor advised me to take Fred to emergency for immediate care.
I followed doctor's advise and took him to Jewish Hospital in Blue Ash. They
are performing a lot of tests to find out what is causing all this trouble and
at the same time they have medicated him to relieve him of his coughing
spells.
He is much better this morning, fewer coughing spells but the battery of
tests are still pending. Please pray for his speedy recovery. Fred is a
member of Glenmary Council and Elko Assembly in Cincinnati, OH area. Thanks

Below is an update from Karen Hatfield on Linda's condition:
Today was a good day overall. This morning we received a phone call letting us
know that Linda Hatfield will be moved by ambulance tomorrow morning to Atlanta
to the Shepard rehab center.
Last week in a meeting with a representative from Shepard thought there would
be room for Linda tomorrow, and there really is!
Not much longer after that we receive an update from Linda's nurse that she can
be moved down a level in care, she didn't need to be in ICU anymore. Another
step towards the right direction!
We couldn't believe all of the good things that were happening so quickly.
But Linda was not moved to the step below in care till an hour or so later. Not
only was all of this occurring but today Linda was taken to the physical therapy
room where patients are on a board and is tilted at 70 degrees to test how long
she is able to stand on her feet. Linda was able to do so for one half hour
(that's only how long it is done for), but she was able to the whole half hour!
Many good things happened today in a short amount of time, and she was
definitely tired from everything. Right before the visitation hours ended at 6,
she looked at my dad and mouthed you need to go pack for tomorrow. Tomorrow will
definitely be a big day and we are all excited for this next step!
Please keep Linda in your prayers...and again thank you so much for doing so!

with an expected (could be less) 3 day hospital stay. We are at Good Sam

One of our Sir Knights needs our
prayers. Yesterday Ken Currey’s heart
stopped “long enough” before beating
again and reviving him, that the
doctor’s aren’t sure how much brain
damage was done. He is in a coma now and
the family (his wife Deb and two kids)
is standing vigil by him at the hospital
in Cincinnati (Christ, I think). Only
time will tell so PRAYERS ARE A TOP
PRIORITY for Ken and his family now.
Pray that the Holy Spirit bring him
healing and that he comes out of this
coma with little or no brain damage.
Ken is 48 and has been a 4th Degree
Knight for 5 years. He did do some honor
guard duties before his job schedule
took him away, and then when his job
left him (Security at DHL) he scrambled
to make ends meet. In addition, he has a
history of heart problems and he could
only do so much so we didn’t see him
much lately, but he participated when
he could.
More updates on Ken as we get them. For
now, please say a prayer or two.

Sir Knights and Brothers, Fr. Jim just got
finished meeting with Ken Currey's wife Deb.
Unfortunately,
Ken is not getting better. He is having
seizures and developed a high temp
and is showing no sign of recovery. They
will give him one more day on the
respirator and then disconnect it, to see if
he starts breathing on his own.
Sadly, they expect that his time here is
short and he may be in the Lord's
hands within the next day or so.
I did find out that Ken had a job that
was "light stress" due to his heart
condition but it proved to be even too much
and he was let go.
Please keep Ken in your prayers that
God's Will be done and pray for Deb and
the kids that they may handle this as best
they can. As Fr. Jim put it, you
never know what will happen. AND WITH
PRAYER, miracles do happen. Pray to Fr.
McGivney for healing and recovery.
More updates as they come from Fr.
Jim.....

My Sister Dorothy Marcello had lung
surgery yesterday to remove a cancerous “spot” in one lung. She has several
smaller spots in the other lung and has known about them for about a year. The
oncologist was watching them but no action had been taken until she herself
contacted a pulmonary specialist 2-3 months ago. The spots are cancerous and are
considered to be the same cancer found in her colon—indicating that it has
spread.
She’s in some pain despite being on
pain meds but was sitting in a chair for a good part of today. She will be in
the hospital 2-5 days but she is not in any hurry to go home. For one thing,
they have a new dining service at Jewish Hospital where she can order from the
menu by phone – like “room service.” For another, we’re expecting snow this
weekend.
Dorothy Marcello is the sister
of SK Frank Kammer from Archbishop Elko Assembly and Madonna Council in

Frank:
LaVerne Kuhnell.
Widow of SK Ray Kuhnell from Leibold Assembly in Amelia, OH and mother-in-law of
SK Larry Huxell, has passed away. It is unclear
whether she passed on Monday or Tuesday, as the obituary reads "…Tuesday,
January 11…".
Monday was the 11th; Tuesday was the 12th. I guess it
doesn't really matter.
Please pray for the
family.

Prayers for my sister Dorothy
Marcello.
Her cancer has returned and she is
scheduled for surgery Wednesday, 13 January at 1pm.
She will be in Jewish hospital in
Kenwood, for up to 5 days.
They are going to use two small
holes and go in, using a scanner of some type, and just cut out the nodule in
the right lung.
Please just keep her and the medical
people in your prayers
Thank you all for your concerns and
prayers.

Brother Knights,
Jean and I just came from the hospital
visiting Ed Clemans. Eddie is not doing well at all. He has pneumonia as well
as many other physical problems. Infact he wasn't very attentive while we were
there. Please keep him and Grace, his wife, in your prayers.
He is a true Knight of Columbus, a PGK, FDD, my Chief of Staff for many years as
well as running my hospitality room as I went thru the State Office including
the Fourth Degree when I was Vice Supreme Master. Let's pray that he
makes a speedy recovery.

Keep Mary Jo Lagemann in your
prayers. She is in the hospital and in grave condition. She's having serious
major surgery on Monday or Tuesday, whichever the earliest possible. Her
husband, Bob, is a member of Precious Blood Assembly and St. Columbin Council,
and a Degree Team member; he has requested prayers from his Brother Knights.
Please take time to lift-up Mary Jo in prayer for her recovery and for His peace
for her family. Thank you Brothers.
In Christ
