Sad news - update

Services for Grace Lindal, (Kathy’s granddaughter) will be at 6 pm on Friday, December 9^th at the First Presbyterian Church in Everett, 2936 Rockefeller Ave (cross street is Wall).

The family has requested attire for the memorial service to be cheerful and upbeat (no black). Also in lieu of flowers the family will be setting up a program through the Boeing Credit Union that will benefit the G.R.A.C.I.E. Fund for the Everett School District for their reading assistance program. Information regarding contributions to the fund and complete details are pending and will be available soon.

From Cheri Moll:
Although Grace had been declared brain dead yesterday morning she was still on the ventilator to keep her breathing because of the request to be an organ donor. There were a couple of evaluations that needed to be done by the doctors and certain levels in the body that needed to be reached before they could take the organs. Unfortunately Grace’s heart stopped beating at 2:51 this morning and because of that and a number of other medical complications she is not going to be able to be an organ donor.

Please continue to keep the family in your prayers.

Dear Friends,
Thank you for your prayers for Grace Lindall, but God had other plans for her.  She has been declared brain dead and will now be helping others by giving her organs so others may live.
Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers!

Sad News from Belfair/Waconda

Message from Kathy Hutton, daughter of Margaret & Bill Pollak ~

To all friends and family, Margaret Pollak (born March 25, 1928, in Ohid, Hungary) was admitted to the hospital on November 18th after choking on apple pie. Her heart stopped and she was revived but there was still apple in her lungs. The doctors didn’t think she would make it that night, but Mom being stubborn and feisty, hung on until the night of Nov. 22nd, when she peacefully passed on to be with her husband Bill. Margaret & Bill were Worthy Matron & Worthy Patron of Waconda #217 in 2003-04 and traveled widely throughout the state to represent their chapter and Eastern Star. When Waconda merged with Belfair in April 2008, Margaret became a member of Belfair #241, but moved to Longview within the year to be near her daughter Kathy. Information about services and where to send condolences will be posted shortly.
