Saturday January 3rd, 2026: Bob Garvey Update

Received this update from Mark Gates on Bob and Linda Garvey:

Fri. 1/2, Linda had a cancerous kidney removed. The cancer was contained in the kidney. The surgery was a complete success. Linda is expected to go home on Monday.

Bob was rushed into emergency surgery at 2am New Years Day, to relieve pressure on his brain. His brain bleed began again. He is stable as of now (noon cdt). He has suffered additionally reduced physical and cognitive abilities. His surgery went well. Bob’s future is in God’s hands.

Prayers needed for all.   Mark

About the Author

Hello! My name is John Ciribassi. I live in Carol Stream, IL in the USA. My wife Elise and I are parishioners at Corpus Christi Catholic Church. We have two adult daughters. One lives in Senegal, West Africa with her husband and her 3 sons. The other teaches Anthropology at the University of Oslo, Norway. We also have a home in Mainesburg, Pa in the North Central part of Pennsylvania. My wife and I are both retired veterinarians, and my specialty is in animal behavior. I attended college and veterinary school in Illinois, where I met my wife who is from the Chicago area, and the rest is history! My hobbies include Racquetball, Pickleball, Off Road Motorcycle Riding, Hiking and Camping. I continue to enjoy the opportunity to offer what little insight I have on the scriptures. But I have always felt that the scriptures can speak for themselves. My job is just to shine a little light on them for people who maybe don't have the time to look into the readings deeply. I hope you enjoy and find value in my writings. I continue to be grateful for this opportunity.
