Dear Smoke Signals, After becoming seriously ill in December, I'd like to acknowledge and ex press my thanks to everyone who was there to aid in my recovery. First, thank you to my mother, Jackie Provost, and my sister, Molly Leno for spending time with me, taking care of my home and pets during my two week hospital stay. Thank you to John and Hollie Mercier for ensur ing that my son, Kalim, was able to visit nearly every day. Joann Mercier, thank you for bringing Kalim when you could and the cheerful visits. Thank you to Mychal Leno for bringing me the hospital survival package! A big thank you to all my co-workers and friends at Spirit Mountain Ca sino for the visits, flowers and support during my absence. Thanks and gratitude to the doctors and nurses at Willamette Valley Hospital, espe cially the staff in ICU, for taking care of me. Thank you to Linda Bird for my follow-up care. And, thank you to Joseph Randall for cooking and tak ing care of me when I was able to return home. There are so many others who called, sent flowers, cards and prayers that meant so much to me. I am grateful to still be alive and the support and encouragement from all of you has made me feel blessed in many ways.
