IN MEMORY OF STEPHEN RUSSELL DICKEY. Today the Hospitalito received a 1999 Subaru donated by Dr. Stephen Dickey prior to his death from pancreatic cancer last year. Stephen’s sister-in-law, K’aslimaal treasurer Lyn Dickey and friend Gloria Maker drove the car from Arkansas arriving in 8 days. Gloria did the driving. At Hospitalito Atitlán today, a minute of applause was given as thanks and in memory of Stephen, who died at age 37, before he had the opportunity volunteer as a physician as he had hoped. The car will be used during the night when the nursing staff must come in for emergency surgeries and there is no public transportation available. At times it will serve as an ambulance and also to move medical supplies from the old hospital in Panabaj to the new building. Pastor Juan Abraham blessed the car and said that it is a donation to all of the community. Everyone enjoyed tostadas after the music and the presentation of the keys to the medical director. THANK YOU STEPHEN!
