Cheri, please give our best to your Mother, sure hope all goes well. If
I was close, I'd certainly stop by for visit. We're in Illinois, so not
real close, but our best wishes are close! My brother has just found out
his has cancer, while in the hospital he had so many visitors, family had
to take a back seat! I knew he belonged to a large church, but was
really taken by the numbers. Too bad we couldn't share some of his
friends family. His case is not terminal, but is told they have no cure
and will be off work for the next 8 months working through radiation and
chemo. Then hope and praying all goes into remission. Best to you and
get rest, as it's stressful watching over a loved one. Larry
