The Erick Ambulance Service has answered the call to assist with the response efforts for Hurricane Milton in Florida. A paramedic/ EMT crew headed out last Saturday night to the Tampa/St. Petersburg staging area at Tropicana Field. Erick was truly honored to be able to join the other Oklahoma agencies that were able to help. Prayers for all that have been affected by this horrific hurricane and to keep our group safe in this endeavor.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Ricky Davis, whose services were held this past Saturday, 10/5, at the Texola Baptist Church with Bro. Charlie Floyd officiating. Ricky was a Vietnam veteran who faithfully served his country and was awarded many medals, including one silver star and one bronze star to name a couple of them.
Deepest sympathy, prayers and comfort, are being sent out to the family of Joy Lou Brookshire. She was a member of the EHS Class of 1954. Services were yesterday, Friday, 10/11 at the Erick First Baptist Church.
Happy Anniversary wishes for this coming week go to my son and daughter-in-law, Will & Chelsie Pritchard on 10/12; Kade & Trasey Johnson who will celebrate on 10/14; and to David & Jamey Guy and Bobby & Carissa Kemp, with both couples celebrating on 10/18.
