Sarah and Hank are both in good health, but feeling the inevitable effects of aging.
Hank is confined to a wheelchair, and requires assistance with all daily activities. His muscle rigidity and aphasia continue to limit his ability to interact with others, but he's in good spriits and still finds ways to make his opinions known.
Sarah spends most of her time in a wheelchair, but can get around for short distances with a walker. She still enjoys being at the center of things and has become so well known for her addiction to mocha lites that the local store has started stocking extras.
For the past few years Hank and Sarah have enjoyed living at Canfield Place in Beaverton. Now, however, they're moving.
Because Hank requires more care than Canfield can provide, he has relocated to Beaverton Rehab & Speciality Care. The good news is that he will be able to receive physical therapy for his muscle rigidity, and skilled nursing care 24-7.
Sarah is remaining at Canfield for a few more weeks, and then will join Hank at Beaverton Rehab. They will have adjoining rooms overlooking a flower-filled courtyard. They will be together by their wedding anniversary.
Hank and Sarah will be celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary this October. You can help make this a very special occasion.
Please send cards and notes for Hank and Sarah to Ann's address, which is listed below. It would be particularly nice if you would take the time to share any memories or stories about Hank and Sarah. Some time in October or November - they haven't set a date yet - they will be having a party for those of you who can make it to town. If you would like to attend, please send a note or e-mail to Ann with the weekends you are available.
