patfish Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 I posted this in the prayer request forum too, just thought I'd put the word out here. Those folks have always been so good to me. Fishing report for Bennett Spring State Park, brought to you by Weaver's Tackle Store 7/22/07 To our faithful readers: We very regretfully must suspend our Online Fishing Reports for an indefinite period of time. On Thursday, Jerry suddenly and severely suffered retinal damage in both eyes. In one eye, his vision loss is total. He has had several procedures and some surgery done since then in an attempt to save the other eye, which has retinal tears in it. More surgery is scheduled tomorrow in Springfield, and we would ask for your prayers that it will be successful. Our store is open for business, with Bill & Rosie Bailey and several of our campers, neighbors and friends holding down the fort. Neither of us has been in the store since Thursday, but other than having to shorten weekend hours, it's still pretty much business as usual there. The outpouring of support and offers of help have been phenomenal, and we are most grateful. Thank you for your thoughts, prayers, friendship and continued support. Hopefully, we will have good news to bring you in the future. Jerry & Brenda Miller Weaver's Tackle Store

trout fanatic Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 This is truly sad news. Prayers are on the way and best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.
patfish Posted July 25, 2007 Author Posted July 25, 2007 My buddy Hippie Tim is going to call maybe today or tomorrow and get an update. I understand that Jerry is a volunteer fire fighter so that may have been what he was doing when this occurred. I'll let everyone know as soon as I hear something.... hopefully good.
Members Sherwood Flycaster Posted July 25, 2007 Members Posted July 25, 2007 Must be absolutely nightmarish for Jerry and Brenda! Such wonderful people. Been a difficult year for them. Brenda was awfully ill not long ago, correct? Prayers and positive vibes emanating towards the west. All our best to those folks! Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. ~Chuck Clark
