Herald Editor Cranshaw
hospitalized
According to reports from per
sons close to the family, David
Cranshaw, editor and publisher of
The Herald, a Warner Robins
newspaper, was taken to Houston
Medical Center during the early
morning hours of Jan. 28.
Reports indicated Cranshaw
was apparently suffering from a
heart attack. Tests were begun to
determine the course of treatment.
No additional information was
available at press time.
Cranshaw, who lives at One
Horse Farm near Perry, was for
merly a staff member at the
Houston Home Journal.
Later, he was editor of The
Daily Sun and The Buyer’s Guide
in Warner Robins before starting
The Herald about 18 months
ago.
Westfield offers testing for
fall enrollment
Westfield Schools in Perry will
be testing Feb. 3-7 for admission
to the .kindergarten programs.
Testing will be conducted by
appointment only.
Half-day kindergarten pro
grams are available for children
age four and a full-day program is
available for five-year-olds.
Registration for the 1996-97
school year begins in March.
Testing for admission of stu
dents in grades 1 through 12 will
be held on Feb. 1 at 9 a.m. in the
Westfield Middle School Library.
Westfield is a non-denomina
tional Christian school for grades
K-4 through 12 and is accredited
by the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools and the
Georgia Accrediting Commission.
Westfield Headmaster Michael
Drake said the school educational
philosophy is based on the belief
that students need and deserve a
strong academic learning environ
ment where the student can pre
pare for college or life in an
atmosphere where patriotism, citi
zenship and prayer are encour
aged.
For more information or for an
admissions packet call Drake at
987-0547.
The family looked out.
Both the balloon and the star
had disappeared.
But the memory of Monica
Allen has not disappeared.
Monica’s loving, intelligent
personality is remembered by not
only her family, but fellow stu
dents, teachers, doctors, nurses
and other cancer patients.
“Monica was a very happy
child,” said her mother. “She was
very outgoing and very reli
gious.”
“Monica was the type of child
that when other kids were outside
playing, she was inside reading,”
Felicia said.
One day when her mom picked
her up from school, Monica was
complaining of an ache in her
side.
Her mom called the doctor
who gave some advice but the
ache did not go away.
A short time later, Monica had
tests run at Perry Hospital.
Her doctor, Samuel Palmer,
called the Vances and told them
Monica’s liver was enlarged.
They needed to pack a suitcase
and take Monica to the Children’s
Hospital at the Medical Center of
Central Georgia in Macon.
They did.
Subsequent tests showed
Monica had ewing sarcoma can
cer, said her mom.
“The doctor, Dr. Danawi, said
this type cancer happens to about
one out of three million children,”
said Felicia.
The tumor had covered her
lungs and pushed her organs to
one side in a way that even a feed
ing tube could not be inserted.
Chemotherapy was begun
immediately. Danawi told
Monica’s parents the biopsy
showed the tumor as 99.9 percent
cancerous and that the little girl’s
chances of survival were slim.
She stayed in the hospital from
February until May.
When she returned home she
was “doing good” and had energy
enough to play sometimes, said
Felicia.
Monica knew something was
going on in her body that she
could not comprehend at first and
a journal she kept reflects her
questions and feajs, according to
Felicia.
“She couldn’t quite compre
hend it at first, but as time went
on she started grasping at what
was happening to her,” said her
mother. “But, she wouldn’t listen
to negative talk, she always had
faith that God would heal her.”
The Make a Wish Foundation,
an organization that attempts to
fulfill wishes of terminally-ill
children, approached the family.
“Someone came to the house.
Monica had just gotten home that
day from five days of chemother
apy that had wiped her out,”
remembered Felicia. “When they
asked her what her one wish was
she said ‘I always tell Mom and
Dad I want to go to Disney
World.’”
So, in July, the whole family,
mom and dad, Monica and her
sister, Cherkina and brother,
Danny, packed up and went on a
six-day dream vacation.
Monica had the time of her
life, her parents remember.
“We stayed at a place called
Give Kids the World. It was won
derful!” said Willie.
Back home, later in the year,
Monica’s condition did not
improve, but worsened.
During this time the family
prayed together many, many
times with Monica always leading
the way.
“When we prayed she wanted
to be the one to pray for us. And
we had to all hold hands,” said
Willie.
She would always ask God to
“save my whole family,” said
Felicia.
God prepared Monica in a way
that caused Monica to be able to
prepare her family for the
inevitable, said Felicia.
Monica helped make the deci
sion to halt the chemotherapy,
said Felicia.
She told the doctors, “no
more.”
“What ya’ll don’t know is
nobody in this room knows how I
feel, the pain I’m in,” Felicia
remembers hearing the little girl
say. “I want to enjoy what I can.”
The last trip out of the Vance
home for Monica was to attend a
Christmas party for young cancer
patients at the Medical Center.
Earlier, she had been chosen to
light the giant Christmas Tree that
stands atop the hospital.
Before her death, Monica
wrote a poem for her family and
for her friends at Momingside
Elementary.
It is as follows:
