I didn't know NYDAH in school (I had already left Ballinger), but visiting with her at the 50th Class Reunion, I realized what a charismatic, charming woman she was -- and she must have made a lot of friends in high school. Those of you who knew her may wish to send a card or letter, and of course, prayers are always in order.
Class President JAMES HAYS sent me the following on her condition last night.
"Just got an update from NYDAH’s daughter. As you know, she had a car wreck two years ago with a neck fracture and traumatic stroke, and has been in a nursing home paralyzed on one side.
Her (memory) has been on a come and go status since, and has slowly gotten worse. She is able to recognize cards and appreciate them, but her condition is worsening. Now is the time to send her a card while she can still understand that we care for her."
Write: NYDAH ELLET, Kensington Care Center Rm 11, 849 N Aurora Rd., Aurora, Ohio 44202.
Love and peace,
Marilyn
