Please read the e mail from Betty below… and please send Doug a birthday card, even if you don’t know him.
Also, I would suggest you write him an e-mail and ask Betty to read it to him, especially if you knew Doug in high school. When Jeron Stevens, now deceased, was in the hospital for a liver transplant in 2000 classmates did this and sent them to me and I took them to the hospital and would read them to him and then Rena, his wife, later made a scrapbook for his family of them and still has them… it won’t take you that long. Though tears were shed by many as the letters were read at the hospital, it meant a lot to Jeron and I’m sure it will to Doug Beyer. Thanks. JO

Doug will have radiation therapy through next Friday, October 20, after which he will come home
under Hospice care. He feels pretty good and his spirits are remarkable under the circumstances. So far, there is no activity in his feet or legs and hope for that is waning.
On the lighter side, next Tuesday, October 17, he will celebrate his 64th birthday! I thought it might be fun to have a birthday card shower. So if you have a minute and want to, just send him a card to the address below, and I’ll be sure he gets it on his special day. OR, the hospital address is: Doug Beyer–Room 514
Brownwood Regional Medical Center
1501 Burnet Drive
Brownwood, Texas 76801
Love to you all.
