Susan was as close to the center of the hub of a wagon wheel for the Christian Photojournalists as anyone. We cannot think of many who had this unique gift to be a friend to such a wide variety of people. Click here for some photos of Susan. Click here for story by Bill Bangham. Sympathy cards can be sent to Susan's mother:

| On May 30, 2006 Carol Kilpatrick was given a new body by her Lord. No more dealing with the cancer she had suffered through. Tom Kilpatrick can continue to use our prayers as he and his family has lost their matriarch.
Carol was a prayer warrior just like Tom. She was always wanting to know how to pray for others, even when she was suffering with the cancer. |

On June 6, 2006 Paul Obregon received a miraculous healing. He no longer has diabetes and all the problems associated with his struggles with the condition. He now has a new body as he departed us this morning to be with the Lord. As soon as the family has made plans and their wishes known, I will pass these along. Please keep his family in your prayers. Click here to see his work. This is from a book jacket of one of his book projects: "To get a picture with symbolism and meaning you have to do more than click a button," believes photographer Paul Obregon. "Symbolism is very important; the writer gives the literal interpretation and you have to come up with an image that complements that." Even though he tries to somewhat detach himself from the events he photographs, sometimes he finds that his emotions surface. “And,” he says, “while you anticipate the emotions in the people you are photographing, sometimes you forget to anticipate your own feelings-that's when you have to rely on your reactions.” Obregon, who has won numerous awards for his photography in MissionsUSA, received two degrees from The Ohio State University-one in fine arts and another in industrial design. He has designed industrial exhibits and worked at various other jobs including cab driving, construction work and even shoe sales. He was a photographer at the North American Mission Board for more than thirty years. He grew up in Ohio, but Obregon claims his birthplace Laredo, Texas, as home. |

July 13, 2006 -- Bill Fortney had a successful surgery for colon cancer. Just a few weeks ago Bill had an episode which made everyone think he had just had a stroke at the Kentucky Derby while working the Nikon booth as their representative. The test cleared him of this but helped them to find colon cancer. They removed a 3 cm mass successfully and only are waiting on the lab results to tell them more information. The doctors felt the surgery went as well as it could have been expected. 
June 30, 2006 -- Susan Crotts went peacefully this morning to be with the Lord. After suffering for many months with cancer she now has no more pain.
