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 />

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 />
