How do I say thank you for all
the cards, food and flowers dur
ing my recent illness? All were
appreciated and rem inded me
again of the good things about liv

that we went to two bowl games,
you hear right, but the doctor said,
“Go for it! They have doctors
down there.” Needless to say, I
slept most of the way coming and

still sleep a lot.
But most importantly, again a
most heartfelt thanks for your
