Sad News

Yesterday Cindy Peterson called to tell me that Kathy Gonzales had passed and I told her I would put it on the blog last night. I just didn't get it done last night but today Darlene Jansen and Mary Bruun also contacted me.

I did look at the death notice, right now there really isn't an obituary available. Kathy Gonzales and her husband, who passed many years ago lived at 342 Fir, right next to Tuffy and Char. They were involved with the flea market. 

Some time later Kathy and Vladimir Swirynsky were married and as far as I know still lived in the same spot.

Weslaco- Katherine Marie Swirynsky, 63, went to be with the Lord on Monday, January 16, 2023 at Knapp Medical Center in Weslaco.

Funeral Services have been entrusted to Salinas Funeral Home of Weslaco.

Today Darlene also told me of the passing of Ken Pavelko. Ken and Letty lived back on Cummins and he often played his trumpet when we had our veteran recognition day. By the way, he played that trumpet beautifully and the program often would end, after the singing and program put on usually by Larry, with Ken playing Taps. From what I found he died at the McAllen Medical Center

Kenneth Richard Pavelko age 95 of Pharr, Texas (formerly of Lakefield, Minnesota) entered into rest on Sunday, June 5, 2022. A Funeral Mass was  held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 11, 2022, at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Lakefield, with Father Jonathan Fasnacht officiating, with a visitation one hour prior to Mass.

Burial was to be at St. John the Baptist Cemetery in Minneota Township, with full Military Honors performed by Lakefield American Legion Post.

They sometimes say bad news comes in threes and tonight I found out that Chris Pearce fell today and broke her arm. She is currently in the hospital having it attended to and may be there for a few days as tomorrow starts the weekend and sometimes medical care is hard to find on the weekends. There will be Magnolia people watching our for Ron so that he is not alone tonight.

Maybe ending on an up note, tomorrow here at Trails End in Weslaco we will be having our craft sale and also our patio sale from 8 AM to noon. If you have some free time, stop in.
