> I just heard from friends that my dear old friend Ted is in hospital, 
> admitted by these friends who found him in his apartment.  He had been on

> being family I can't get anything out of the hospital beyond that he's not 
> on the hospital floor  my friends told me.

> He will turn 79 shortly and is still working as a priest although he has 
> been going downhill badly the last while and it is all he can do to turn 
> up at his little church which is housed in an old folks home.  How to 
> physically get him from here to out west where he wants/needs to be nearer 
> to a son with three small children and an older sister has been a 
> continuing conundrum.
>
> It's all distressing and I feel of no help at all, being at a distance 
> myself.  He has been a loyal friend to me.  For now all I can do is beg 
> your prayers for this good man who has been his own worst enemy but 
> deserves a better end than this.
