Update on Fred Yates

Fred and Debbie wish to thank the district family for their prayers during these past several days. Fred has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This type of cancer has been known to respond well to treatment. He had his first round of chemo therapy last evening (Thursday) here in St. Louis at the Missouri Baptist Hospital. As of this posting he has not experienced any of the side-effects associated with chemo therapy, for which he is very grateful. He is in very good spirits and is scheduled to go home on Monday. Please continue to keep him and Debbie in your prayers, as well as David and Pam Yates as they continue to run the day-to-day operations at Pinecrest. Thank you.
