UPDATE ON SABASTIAN: Four of the five men who were burned on the West Virginia construction job the day after Easter have died. Jerry Sebastian is the only survivor. He is now at home and the doctors are satisfied with the progress he is making. There have been no projections about when he will be able to work again. Meanwhile, the gas company has begun negotiations with the five families suggesting that they want to assist, but at this time no specifics are known. Gifts have been coming in to the Riverside Mennonite Church and are much appreciated. Both Jerry Sabastian and Teresa Mallow (widow of Leroy Mallow) are receiving assistance from the compassion fund. The love expressed in your generosity is helping to tide these members of Riverside over for now. May God bless all who have given. Any further gifts can be sent to the Riverside Mennonite Church, c/o Marlene Flanagan, Treasurer, P.O. Box 217, Dry Fork, WV 26263-0217. Please designate your gift for the “Compassion Fund.”
