Thornton Senior News
Hello again to all you Senior Citizens and friends. Hope this finds all of you well and avoiding the COVID-19. Seems it isn’t getting any better all around us. We are happy to say congratulations to Janice Bilbrey on being a grandmother again to a precious little girl. Also, Bobbie Reynolds reached her 92nd birthday on July 16 and she became great-grandmother a coup days after that to a little baby girl. We want to congratulate them on both births. Sorry to report that this week Bobbie was entered into Limestone Medical Center but seems to be doing better. Also reported to me that Linda Kennedy Watson is now home from LTC Nursing home and our prayers are still with her for better health. There may be others but haven’t been reported to me.
