Young & Janusch Family
Tony Young is in intensive care at Harborview Medical Center suffering from a variant of Guillain-Barre syndrome, a virus that attacks the nervous system. Tony's health is complicated further by a serious brain injury he received many years ago. He lives with his sister, Arlene Janusch, and her family. You may recognize Tony because he has been a greeter here many times, and has worked on maintaining our facility for the past few months.

The Turek family, listed here last week, is doing much better. They are very thankful for all the meals they have received and all the prayers and support from the PBF family. If you were assigned to bring them a meal, you no longer need to bring it. Please email tammi.keffer@peninsulabible.org to help us track those who offered to bring meals, so we can contact everyone.
