All Should Read This
Posted by Flintlock76 on Tuesday, April 30, 2019 8:24 AM

Hello all!

I've gotten his approval to pass this on so I thought you'd all like to know.

Frequent and valued poster Miningman (Vince) is in the Royal University Hospital of Saskatoon with severe flu and heart-related issues.  I won't pass on the e-mail he's using at the moment (unless he says it's OK) because I'm sure he needs the rest.  Right now things look pretty good but he's not coming home soon.

Your prayers and best wishes will certainly be appreciated!

UPDATE

This comes courtesy of Mike (Wanswheel.)

Those who wish to send "best wishes" to Vince (which should be everyone) can do so through the Saskatoon Region Health System.  State the hospital and Vince's last name (Find it in the "Contact" e-mail address in his Profile.)

Here's the link...

https://forms.saskatoonhealthregion.ca/wellwishes/  

I've tried it, it works.

Thanks Wanswheel!  And Mr. Moderator, would you PLEASE bring him back?  He's needed!

Wayne, thanks for posting this.

Vince always seems to find the time to post the many things I would like to post. He finds so many interesting Canadian railroad history items.

Get well soon Vince!! I am also suffering from flu on and off since a few weeks ago. My long-term health conditions plus the flu makes me unable to do many things including posting on this forum as well...

Forgive my manners Mr. Jones, I should have said something sooner.

YOU take care of yourself too, you hear?  We don't want to lose anyone!

Get well soon!

Got an e-mail from Vince a few minutes ago (0915 EST), he's home safe and sound.

Thank God.

I have been praying for  a recovery for "Vincent ben (son of) Mary Elizabeth" every day and will continue to do so until told it is not necessary.
