My name is Naomi Dolan and as many of you know, I am the granddaughter of Terry and Nancy Dolan. At the end of this month, they are celebrating a great milestone, their 60th wedding anniversary! The Catlin, Salt Fork, and surrounding community have been a part of my grandparents' lives for the last 60 years. Some highlights, but not a complete list, of how they have dedicated their lives to the area are as follows. Both received Citizen-of-the-year, ran Pizza Time, and founded the Catlin Historical Society. Terry served as Mayor for 16 years and Commissioner for 7 years, and Nancy was Co-Chairwomen when starting the Catlin Public Library as well as worked as a Librarian in the school district. Together, they have an impressive list of accomplishments, showing their love for this community. Always offering a helping hand and looking for new ways to improve, Terry and Nancy have been devoted to the area and the people they have met along the way. As a gift, my sister and I wanted to collect stories from anyone who has something funny, sweet, or touching to share!

I ask if you would like to share, please leave a comment on this post, private message, or send an email to me at [email protected]. If you would like to mail cards or letters, you can send them to PO Box 709 Catlin, IL 61817. We look forward to compiling these stories together to provide them with a special collection of their memories throughout the years!

Please feel free to leave a message, no matter when you see this post!

Thank you in advance,

Naomi and Alana Dolan

Happy 58th Anniversary Terry and Nancy!

Hello Mother Nature…March 20th was the Spring Equinox. Please pick a season. Truly living in Illinois weather patterns. Wait a few minutes and sunshine will give way to snow.

We are finally seeing some big gains in Terry and Nancy’s recovery. Mobility has increased a lot. With much thanks to those who have been regular in-home care professionals and the medical community who keeps them on the up and up. While there could be some procedures in the future we are hoping those will be abated by the steady progress which has been made.

Pizza Time has suspended operations to focus on my parents. This direction has not changed. The impact of the accident was brutal to say the least. Several people have asked about how bad the car was damaged. Looking at the news article picture it does not provide a good spatial reference. For those interested the entire front end of the car was pushed back to the nearly the front edge of the front tire. The roof above their heads was buckled and all frontal structure was damaged including the firewall. The front end was curling up on itself. Think about the force of this accident when you think about them. By the grace of God, seat belts, and air bags their lives were saved.

We are very grateful for the cards, people stopping by to say hi, meals provided, and general concern for their well-being. They feel blessed to have people in their lives that truly care for them and the family.


Sincerely,

Charlie Dolan

Hi there, Bethany here! Just a quick post from me to let all of my customers know how much I love you all! Since Pizza Time is in suspension, Kendra and I are no longer going to act as admin for this page. We will still follow the page(just like you do) but it will be handled solely by Charlie Dolan from this point on! Thank you all so much for your loyalty and friendship! Feel free to add me as a personal FB friend!

It is my great hope that we will all be able to eat Julie bites and cheese wedges again someday!

Peace, Love, and Pizza.

Two months have passed and we are happy to report both Terry and Nancy are continually moving forward with their recovery. Looking back from the start they have made great improvements. We appear to be past the use of wheel chairs and other in-home equipment. While we still have the incremental improvements there have been big gains in the overall recovery. Sallie is providing them 24/7 care and transportation to and from appointments.

As for re-opening Pizza Time I want to help clear up any rumors.
Until Terry and Nancy are past being under doctor care/orders it is difficult to consider re-opening Pizza Time. While we are looking at ideas and plans the complexity of all the doctor appointments and care make it not reasonable to do so.

Again thank you to everyone who has been positive and supportive through this process.

Sincerely,

Charlie Dolan

It is day 21 since my parents came home and day 40 since the accident. Both Terry and Nancy continue to move forward and push themselves each day to get up and get back to routines. They have received numerous get well cards and have appreciated all of the kind words. While not every day we see the incremental improvements we do get to look back from a week ago see the overall improvement.

The three of us made the very difficult decision to suspend Pizza Time’s operations. This decision was not taken lightly and how and when to reopen is a constant conversation we have at home. For now their health and being able to return to the world outside the home is our family’s top priority. We wish to thank everyone again for the continual comments and love for Terry and Nancy and appreciate all those that have shown grace and goodwill to our family.

Sincerely,

Charlie Dolan

We are happy to report on an update.

Twenty days after the accident and 16 days after they last held hands and embraced each other they were finally able to do so again today. We took Nancy over to Carle to pick up Terry and gave them time together to hold one another prior to coming home to Catlin. We want to continue to thank everyone for their prayers and thoughts.

Due to the flu season and additional time to recover visiting them needs to be carefully considered. We ask for patience and understanding by allowing Terry and Nancy to rest and recover.

We will update here again when being able to come by and visit is in order.

Time will heal all wounds.

Sincerely,

Tell us, what is the first thing you're going to order when we reopen?

01/12/2018

We greatly appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding through this very difficult time. Please keep everyone in your thoughts and prayers.

While Terry and Nancy are on the road to recovery Pizza Time will need to suspend operations.

Updates will be posted here on Facebook.

Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Charlie Dolan
