Weather forces change in events

Unfortunately, we didn’t miss the January winter freeze-snow-no water phase. Several events had to be postponed and some were out and out cancelled. I will try to name a few that have been rescheduled that have appeared on Facebook.
The revisions I know to be happening, I will recite below, but first I want to report the passing of a special lady that I have known for 27 years, and she has been a force of nature in her love for her husband, children, grandchildren, and Trinity family.
Cheryl Rushing, my friend, expired on Friday night at 7 p.m. at the Trinity Rehabilitation Healthcare Center on Caroline Street.
Cheryl Rushing was a great lady and will be sorely missed by this community as well as her family. She was a fantastic cook and caterer and was a talented and artistic person. She was kind, sweet, forgiving, and had an infectious smile. I really liked her laugh.
She helped anyone that needed help, was faithful to her charities, and loved the Lord. Her services are on the Waller-Thornton website.
•Listed below are the date changes for events missed last week.
The Trinity Lions Club Meeting scheduled for Jan. 17 will now be held on Jan. 31 at noon at the Trinity Chamber Building. The program will be provided by the director of CASA from Huntsville. The public is invited.
The Trinity Historical Society meeting was postponed until April. If a meeting is needed before this time, the members will be notified of a specially called meeting. For more information, please call Diana Baker at (936) 581-1478.
I do not know if the special concert that was to be held at First Methodist Church last Thursday was cancelled or not, but I know I hated to miss it. They are an outstanding group of musicians. I will report next week If it was canceled or rescheduled.
•There are a lot of activities in February and March, so if I skip around forgive me. I will list the last of January events that I know for sure and try to stay in date order if I can.
