THE HEAVILIN HERALD
JANUARY, 2010
We’re in Redlands and life is very
busy here. On the 13th of December
we had the privilege of providing
the chancel flowers in memory of our
boys. That evening we attended the
Worldwide Candle Lighting program
sponsored by The Compassionate
Friends. Marilyn presented each new
(1st year since loved one died)
family with a rose. In that little
group of about 65 people more than
1/3 of them qualified as new. We
hope you were able to reach out to a
hurting family through the Holiday
season. Even though Nate died more
than 26 years ago, Jimmy 45 years
ago, and Ethan 44 years ago, we
always appreciate others remembering
them.
We spent many days meeting doctor’s
appointments. We would definitely
agree that getting old is not for
sissies! We heard the doctor
recommend that Marilyn have foot
surgery in March; we also heard the
doctor say that Glen’s PSA had gone
up a ‘smidge,’ so we are in a
watching and waiting mode for Glen,
and we both heard that we need to
watch our diets to lower our
cholesterol and blood pressure. Oh
my!
We left for our daughter’s on
December 17 and arrived on the 18th.
We had the privilege of watching her
appear in the chorus of Annie. We
are always so proud of her, and we
loved seeing the rest of the family.
We also had an early Christmas with
her family while we were there.

4th to the left, starting from the
right.

We discovered that our daughter is
not only an accomplished actress,
but she has developed a wonderful
talent in art. Below are some of her
recent projects.
The second Sunday we were in
Redlands, Glen appeared as Marley in
the church youth group’s
presentation of A Christmas Carol.
His moans were so scary that all of
the little children started to cry.
Instead of a sunset picture, I am
including a very familiar sight here
in Redlands, snow covered mountains
and orange trees. The sunsets will
abound when we are in Morro Bay. It
is hard to imagine that people are
experiencing cold weather in this
country when it was 72 here today.
Thank you for your continued prayers
for our safety and good health in
this New Year.
“For the eyes of the Lord thy God
are always upon it, from the
beginning of the year even unto the
end of the year” (Deuteronomy
11:11-12).
In Him,
Glen and Marilyn Heavilin
