Former Gateway Grapler to wrestle in charity Legends Night
Here are the line-ups for the event, which will take place on Saturday April 4th, 2009 at Chartiers Valley High School, 7pm.
Up-date on Laura Mikesell
I just returned home from being with her at the hospice, she is in grave condition and they don't expect her to make it to the weekend. She is on a morphine pump so they tell us she is pain free. I will keep you informed as to any details. Her sister arrived from CA this morning, so we started making plans. Thank you!
Passing of Laura Mikesell
Laura passed away peacefully at 6:03am on Friday, 7/3. Her sister and I were holding her hand...she will be greatly missed. Her funeral arrangements are for Lindsay Funeral Home in Harrison City with viewing from 2-4 and 6-9 on Tuesday, 7/7 and the funeral service will be on Wed., 7/8 at Monroeville Assembly of God at 10:00, followed by a brief graveside service at the Jefferson Hills Cemetary. Thanks to each of you for your prayers, cards, calls and kindness, she appreciated it more than you could know.
Letter of Appreciation from Laura Mikesell's Sister
To: Gateway Alumni
From: Gerry Morey - Laura Mikesell's Sister
Date: July 9, 2009
Thank you for your many loving cards and letters, good wishes and supportive prayers for Laura Mikesell during her recent illness. Laura passed away on Friday, July 3 in the Hospice at Forbes Regional Center. We celebrated her life in a service on Wednesday, July 8th and laid her to rest with her husband, Dick Mikesell at Jefferson Memorial Park.
I can't begin to tell you how much your words of appreciation and inspiration regarding her teaching meant to her and to our family! She did not get to read all of them before she lost consciousness but I did and they truly touched my heart! I had a number of them read at the Memorial Service. You will never know the mark, you, her students, left on her life; as did those of you who were students of Richard Mikesell.
Thank you for good memories, lasting impressions and for your productive and positive impact on the world through your chosen professions.
