New News

Well,
Mom is not doing well. She is slowly getting a little worse every day. We were there on Saturday visiting and she slept basically the whole time we were there. She woke just in time as we were preparing to leave. She struggles get around and is very limited. Mentally she has deteriorated much and stares blankly around alot. This is very hard for me to write. I don't want to admit all this but also feel I need to be honest with everyone so no one is mislead.

Dad has made a decision to move over to Jackson to allow us to help him and so we can all spend what time we have left with her. A very nice man in our church (Grace Fellowship) has offered Mom and Dad his house while it is on the market to sell. I spoke with this man last night and we will be getting Mom and Dad over here by the end of the month. This is exciting but hard at the same time. All I can ask is that you all continue to pray like never before. Please pray for strength for us all as we embark on this new season. Once Mom and Dad get over here, I will post more.
Love you all,
Tara

Lending a hand....

Hello all,
I thought this would be a good opportunity for all of you who continuely ask, "what can we do to help", here is were you can come in! We are all getting together as one unit to help Dad clean up the house and the property. This is something that is a bit overdue but now is as good a time as any to start.
This weekend, a few of us will be going over to Garden Valley to start what will be a big "clean up party." This might not be for everyone but I thought I would throw it out there to see who responds. We could use all the help we can get and don't worry, this weekend will not be the only time it will be happening. So, if you would like to volunteer some of your time, please let me know. You can email me: tarahooper@sbcglobal.net or you can call our house (209)223-2219. Dad and I will be making up a list of things to do there and I would be more than willing to go over them with you through either of these methods of contact. If you can't come, you can still continue to lift us all up in prayer and for others to come forward and volunteer! That would be much appreciated!
As for those of you who contributed to the scrapbook I made by leaving comments, Mom and Dad were truly touched as well as other members of the Hooper Family. Thank you so much for touching Mom in this way. We love you all. Thank you again.............
