Dear Gary,

Tony and I want to say Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for the benefit put on for me in Chesaw on March 2nd! Thank You for the hard work and generosity of everyone who put it on and to everyone who was there. Also to Mike and Clay for providing the entertainment, you guys are great. The Lutheran Church in Havillah went above and beyond, Thank You so much.

I have never been as surprised in my life as I was that night, my heart is over-flowing with gratitude.

Everyone’s generosity is overwhelming from homemade sugar free cookies, to huge gift baskets and a steady stream of beautiful cards.

Also Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers, I want you to know they are working!

I am doing exceptionally well. I have now had the surgery and that also went very well, now I just need to heal, get through three months of chemo and get back to this wonderful life!
