MOM says "Hello, to all of you out there everywhere. There are so many of you that we want to thank for your prayers and your love, WE LOVE YOU!!! We think of you each day, and hope everyone is doing well. Thanks so much for the cards and wonderful words of encouragement and love"

The whole family appreciates so much all the love and the closeness that we feel coming from so many places and homes.

We are all sitting in Mom's room and she is just getting ready to go down to surgery. We are so hopeful that this will do the trick.

She was able to have Confession, Communion and Anointing by a wonderful priest this morning. We have been praying and talking and enjoying each other's company. It has been a good morning. I will have an update on the Surgery this afternoon.
