R<strong>at</strong>hgeber Hospitality House<br />
Serving a Family’s Needs<br />
Most often, the R<strong>at</strong>hgeber Hospitality House offers<br />
lodging to families as they experience an illness or loss. On<br />
occasion, families stay during much happier times, such as<br />
the birth of a new family member. It is not often, however,<br />
th<strong>at</strong> a single family stays during both the worst and best of<br />
times, but th<strong>at</strong> is exactly wh<strong>at</strong> Bob and Joyce Bohannon<br />
did earlier this year.<br />
The Bohannon family first stayed <strong>at</strong> the R<strong>at</strong>hgeber<br />
House in February, as Bob and Joyce traveled from<br />
Lubbock to be with their oldest son, Danny, who was being<br />
tre<strong>at</strong>ed <strong>at</strong> <strong>United</strong> <strong>Regional</strong> following a massive heart <strong>at</strong>tack.<br />
Sadly, Danny passed away a few short weeks l<strong>at</strong>er,<br />
presenting the second opportunity to serve the Bohannon<br />
family. Out-of-town rel<strong>at</strong>ives stayed <strong>at</strong> the House with<br />
Bob and Joyce as they g<strong>at</strong>hered to say goodbye to their<br />
beloved family member. It was during this stay in March<br />
th<strong>at</strong> the new family room truly fulfilled its potential, as more<br />
than 30 family members met for prayer and a meal the<br />
night before Danny’s service.<br />
In most instances the story would have ended here,<br />
with the R<strong>at</strong>hgeber staff being gr<strong>at</strong>eful to have served a<br />
family during their times of need.<br />
But a grandson’s wedding in<br />
l<strong>at</strong>e May brought the<br />
whole family together<br />
again in Wichita Falls.<br />
During this time of<br />
celebr<strong>at</strong>ion, Bob<br />
and Joyce<br />
Above: Bob and Joyce Bohannon<br />
Inset: Danny Bohannon<br />
wanted to stay, once<br />
again, in the familiar and<br />
comfortable surroundings<br />
of the R<strong>at</strong>hgeber House.<br />
During this most<br />
recent stay, everyone <strong>at</strong><br />
the R<strong>at</strong>hgeber House<br />
witnessed, once again,<br />
the power of familial<br />
love th<strong>at</strong> sustains many<br />
through the darkest times,<br />
and brings them together<br />
in celebr<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />
It is not often th<strong>at</strong><br />
a family stays<br />
during both the<br />
worst and<br />
best of times.<br />

Miguel’s Story<br />
Celebr<strong>at</strong>ing A Very<br />
Small Success!<br />
M<br />
Making his debut <strong>at</strong> only 31 weeks, Miguel Angel<br />
Rodriquez entered the world way too early and too<br />
small. Weighing in <strong>at</strong> only 2 lbs. 10 oz., little Miguel<br />
was a fighter from the beginning and pedi<strong>at</strong>rician Terry<br />
Johnson felt strongly th<strong>at</strong> the nursery staff <strong>at</strong> <strong>United</strong><br />
<strong>Regional</strong> could handle the challenge. He was right.<br />
“He has used every piece of equipment we have<br />
available to us. From the ventil<strong>at</strong>or, to the continuous<br />
positive airway pressure (CPAP) equipment, to a<br />
central line to the beds. He’s used it all,” said Denise<br />
Hobbs, Manager of Nursery. “This has been a gre<strong>at</strong><br />
opportunity for us to show the community how<br />
amazing and capable our team is.”<br />
As this issue of Cornerstone goes to print,<br />
Miguel is home and doing gre<strong>at</strong>. Dr. Johnson is very<br />
optimistic about Miguel’s future. “I expect him to be a happy and healthy,<br />
perfectly normal kid,” says Johnson. “I tell parents all the time th<strong>at</strong> you<br />
can’t predict wh<strong>at</strong> will happen when a baby is born prem<strong>at</strong>urely. Miguel’s<br />
only issue was his lungs, and th<strong>at</strong>’s something we are very capable of<br />
handling here.”<br />
Hobbs agrees, “This is a gre<strong>at</strong> example of why don<strong>at</strong>ions to Children’s<br />
Miracle Network are so vital. Our unit is able to have the advanced<br />
equipment th<strong>at</strong> allows us to take care of these special infants.”<br />
Look for more about Miguel, his family and their journey in the next issue of Cornerstone.<br />

Planning to<br />
A<br />
As she recalls their trip to Hawaii, their<br />
tour of 24 st<strong>at</strong>es, and their friendship th<strong>at</strong><br />
spanned 26 years, Mary Styles is smiling.<br />
Nonny Arlington Grace and her husband,<br />
Travis, moved to Wichita Falls in the 1970’s<br />
and when Nonny entered the real est<strong>at</strong>e field,<br />
she met Mary.<br />
“She was a city girl and I was a farm<br />
girl. She was from California and she had<br />
experienced so much,” Mary says. After<br />
a childhood spent alone, the de<strong>at</strong>h of her<br />
first husband in World War II was followed<br />
by an unhappy second marriage th<strong>at</strong><br />
ended in divorce. Suddenly Nonny found<br />
herself alone again, caring for her ailing<br />
mother. Then she met Travis Grace. A<br />
pilot st<strong>at</strong>ioned <strong>at</strong> Sheppard Air Force Base,<br />
they soon married and made Wichita Falls<br />
their home. Mary has lived here her entire<br />
life. A mother, teacher and real est<strong>at</strong>e<br />
agent, her p<strong>at</strong>h crossed with Nonny’s in a<br />
professional training class. “She was a very<br />
cautious woman. Not easy to get to know,”<br />
Mary says. “I asked her to go to one of<br />
the classes with me, and th<strong>at</strong>’s where the<br />
friendship began.”<br />
Th<strong>at</strong> friendship bloomed and they found<br />
themselves doing all sorts of things together,<br />
including becoming volunteers in <strong>United</strong><br />
<strong>Regional</strong>’s Auxiliary. It was during Nonny’s<br />
years of service th<strong>at</strong> she became familiar with<br />
Children’s Miracle Network and it became a<br />
cause th<strong>at</strong> she championed, <strong>at</strong>tending every<br />
telethon and event th<strong>at</strong> she could.<br />
Fast forward 20 years and Nonny found<br />
herself caring for her ailing husband, and<br />
soon after his de<strong>at</strong>h, she began her own<br />
b<strong>at</strong>tle with Alzheimer’s. Leaning on her<br />
closest friend, she asked Mary to become<br />
DONOR STORY<br />
Donor Nonny Grace<br />
the Executrix of her will. Mary accepted<br />
the responsibility, and in 2000, Nonny<br />
passed away.<br />
When the will was read, Mary was<br />
stunned. This would not be a simple<br />
process. In fact, Nonny was quite specific<br />
with her wishes, and following Nonny’s<br />
instructions to the letter, it would take Mary<br />
12 years before she could call her job<br />
complete. “I had no idea it would take this<br />
long. But I’m glad I was able to do this for<br />
her and honor her this way.”<br />
In June of this year, Mary began the final<br />
leg of their last journey together. Checks<br />
were written, and she began hand delivering<br />
them to organiz<strong>at</strong>ions and people Nonny<br />
wanted to remember. Children’s Miracle<br />
Network was on her list.<br />
Mary’s knock on the door <strong>at</strong> the <strong>United</strong><br />
<strong>Regional</strong><br />
Found<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
was<br />
unexpected,<br />
as was the<br />
check for<br />
more than<br />
$50,000<br />
th<strong>at</strong> she<br />
produced<br />
from her purse. Nonny Grace planned to<br />
remember. Before Alzheimer’s could cloud<br />
her mind, she set out to ensure th<strong>at</strong> her<br />
legacy was intact and th<strong>at</strong> her memory<br />
would live on. For Children’s Miracle<br />
“...she became<br />
familiar with<br />
Children’s Miracle<br />
Network and<br />
it became a<br />
cause th<strong>at</strong> she<br />
championed...”<br />
Network, Nonny’s bequest will help to ensure<br />
th<strong>at</strong> children in our community will have<br />
access to the best equipment and the best<br />
medical care possible. For Mary and Nonny<br />
both, it has been a journey to remember.<br />
