Hi Echurch Family,

I'm writing to let you know that this morning, we received a phone 
call from a cousin of Vernon's, Terri, Betty Joyce and Lester Wienk's 
daughter. on Tuesday, Vernon's cousin, whom we are very close to, 
Betty Joyce Wienk was rushed to Brookings Hospital, via 
ambulance,  where she was later on, that night, rushed to Sioux 
Falls. On Wednesday they did a CT scan, as her kidneys were shutting 
down. In the stent which they had placed in her stomach where the 
Annurism was, last summer, they found a clot.

She passed away last night in the Sioux Falls Avera McKennon Hospital 
with her family at her side.

We received the phone call this morning from her daughter, Terri.

Vernon and I will attend the funeral. I gave Terri my email address, 
and she said she would let us know via phone or email about the 
funeral, as soon as she has a time and date.

Betty's husband, Lester Wienk, is taking this quite hard.

Please pray for the family.

Thanks.

Love and Blessings,

Pat Ferguson
