Northwest of Durham: Locals visit family over holiday
Durham correspondent
Many families were able to honor their mothers in different ways: phone calls, dinners, cards, flowers, and other acts of kindness. What a privilege for those who still have mothers with them and others that don't have special memories of them.
Greg and Charlene Wedel invited Dale and Kathy Jantz, Richard and Charlotte Wiebe and boys, and Tory and Marla Wiebe to be their dinner guests.
Some of the Harry Wedel family that got together for Sunday dinner at the home of Warren and Jane Unruh were Harry and Lela Wedel, Darrel and Donita Rhodes, Tammy and Tyson, Sarah Schmidt, Mitch and Carol Unruh, Marcel and Wendy Unruh, Kelly and Karleen Koehn and family.
Wendell and Linda Wedel and Connie went to spend Sunday morning visiting and listening to the services with Amanda Wedel at the manor at Moundridge. They then went to eat dinner out and on to Wichita to visit with Casey and Jamie Nightingale from Scott City and the Nightingales' two-month-old daughter who is critically ill at Wesley Hospital.
Calvin and Janene Wiebe had Mother's Day dinner guests by inviting Harry and Sheryle Rhodes, Mike and Michelene Rhodes and Madison, Darrin and Meri Kay Rhodes and Darcy, and Ken and Shelly Giesbrecht and Taylor. They also celebrated Jaren's fourth birthday which was May 10.
On Saturday, the Harry Rhodes helped Ken and Shelly Giesbrecht and Taylor move to the former Clinton Frick home in Durham.
Ron and Dora Unruh attended Sunday morning worship services at the Bethel Mennonite Church near Inman. They then were dinner guests of Dora's cousin, Shirley and John Ediger, in Inman. The Warren Unruh family, the Mark Unruh family, the Jim Enns family and the Lon Hiebert family also joined them as well as the Ediger families for dinner and a good afternoon visiting.
Lola Redger celebrated Mother's Day when Ray and Lisa took her out for dinner in Newton on Sunday. They did some sightseeing and visiting before each returned to their homes.
Merlin and Karletta Wiebe invited Ransom and Lillian Wiebe, Jason and Sheri Wiebe and family, Mark and Kris Wiebe and family, and Kris's mother, Sharon Redger and Lisa to be their Mother's Day dinner guests
