Kevin Minnie, an old friend, seriously ill

Kevin Minnie and his wife, Cynthia, are old family friends going back to the 1980's. I received the following email from an even older friend, Des Lange, concerning Kevin's health.

Hi Terry + Ingrid + all,

Thanks for the consistent news. Pat Prinsloo contacted
us about the sad loss of your mom, Ingrid. We are
sorry that we were not in touch with you at the time
and pray that you and the family have all the love and
support you need as you go through this experience. It
is good to hear the progress on Judith’s condition,
praying that she continues to grow from strength to
strength.

Right now we find ourselves frantically trying to
contact a whole lot of our old friends to reconnect
and pass on the news about Kevin Minnie. We heard
today that he had surgery to remove half of his kidney
last Saturday including two large cancerous tumors. He
is in ICU at the Linksfield Clinic at present.
Apparently, they thought they were going to lose him
yesterday. Today he is slightly better, though heart
rate is racing at 160 and blood pressure is way up. He
has been in and out for treatment through most of the
year.

Please join the prayers for his recovery and healing
and also for comfort and protection for Cynthia and
the girls.

Will keep you posted.


Love from Des and Steph.
