The Waterloo/Cedar Falls Flier
The picture above is of the family of Vince and Amy Howard, who currently live in Baraboo, WI. Amy was born and raised in Waterloo IA, graduating from Columbus High School and UNI. Amy’s parents, Dick and Sandy VanBesien, and much of their family reside in the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area.
This past February, Amy was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the age of 39. Amy has managed to undergo an initial round of radiation and chemotherapy, and a successful surgery to remove the tumor. As she battles this life-threatening disease, the associated medical expenses have been staggering – especially when you consider (as seen in the picture above) that the Howards have four children, ranging in ages from 16 to 5, to support on what is now one income. That is why we, the “Family and Friends of Amy”, would appreciate your support in raising funds to help the Howards.
Pizza Hut locations in Waterloo and Cedar Falls have graciously consented to name THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16 as “Support Amy Day”.
ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, place a dine-in, carryout, or delivery order to any of the Pizza Hut locations below. Present this flyer – VERY IMPORTANT!! When you present this flyer, Pizza Hut will donate 20% of your order in support of Amy’s fight. Enjoy delicious Pizza Hut products, and help Amy and the Howard family. What could be better?! Pass this on to as many people as you can. THANK YOU!!!

Amy, Vince and family,
My heart aches for all of you. Through the tears I am writing to let you know you are in our thoughts and prayers. I also printed off the flyer and made copies and put in our break room at work. I hope that Pizza Hut is ready for all the orders they will be getting. I know we are having Pizza at our house.
Amy please know how much we all love you.
Love, Ruth Ann Jennings and family

Dear Howard family -
I have been spending the last 2-3 days reading all of the blog entries (from March to now). I had heard that Amy was sick, but didn't know what exactly with and how progressed it was. Mary (Wagner) sent me an email with the blog address...I am shocked to hear of all of this news. I feel like I've been on the rollercoaster too (fearful, then hopeful, then sad, then excited, etc...) reading the blog. Know that we are fervently praying for you all!!
Anna, Nathan, and Kate Wagner
p.s. We wish we could participate in the Pizza Hut thing, but we live in Chicago!!:(
