Bobby Flournoy

Ann and Jesse Adams visit Bobby's family  Bobby Flournoy’s memorial service was held Friday, January 31, 2014 at the VFW Post in Wetumpka, AL. The family wishes to thank Post 4572 and the Ladies Auxiliary. We send special thanks to all of you who have followed us and prayed for us through this difficult process. We also want to thank the amazing professionals of Tallassee Community Hospital and Community Hospice, who were absolutely amazing.  You made the best of one of the most difficult times a family could experience. Again, thank you all for your encouraging words and thoughts over the last few weeks, we are grateful to you all!"   The Flournoy Family

Gail Bankston

We got a call from Gail Bankston this morning and we wanted to share the information she gave us with each of you.
In October, Earl retired. In November Gail and Earl's daughter-in-law ( Morris' wife) was diagnosed with breast cancer, had successful surgery and is undergoing treatment. On Tuesday, Gail was diagnosed with colon cancer. She is in the Jacksonville Mayo Clinic where their  son Jeff is presently residing. Gail will have her first surgery, Tuesday, Feb. 4. More surgery will follow once a full diagnoses has been made.
Gail has asked that we tell you that she loves each of you and asks for your prayers. She also says that Earl and the boys ask for your prayers.
The best way to send something to Gail is to send it to her home in Ozark. Even though she has no real idea of how long this will be, your cards and letters mean a lot to her and she wants to make sure that she is able to see each of them. Therefore her home address is the best place for mail. Best guess is that she will return to Ozark in a week or so.
