Hey Pep, get your lazy butt out of bed... the leaves need raking! Deano called and updated me right after he saw you in recovery, I called my folks so they would stop worrying. Glad you're on the mend already, no hill for a climber like you.

See you soon! Love Kev

Monica

GREAT NEWS!!! Monica and I were just talking wondering when we'd get an update, that is wonderful news about Perry. Hang in there, Kate! We are still praying for him. --Neal.

Been thinking of you all day. Our prayers are with you.

Deanna

It's 3:45pm and you've been in our thoughts and prayers all morning and afternoon, Perry. As we await news from Kate, we are thinking about the long road back to feeling strong and healthy again, after PT and convalescence, etc. (Health care people--what can you do.) Please let us know if we can do anything to help, or even to interfere. And I mean anything. I thought I'd tie you some dry flies, but I suspect it will be a little while before you're swinging a fly rod again. The trout and steelhead will wait.
All our love to you, Kate, and the boys,

Jeff & Janie

A PRAYER FOR THE HEART

Our most gracious and merciful loving Lord and Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your compassion and loving kindness. You know and supply all our needs.
Lord, You seek those who are lost, bind those who are broken, strengthen those who are sick. I know You are with Perry, O Lord. Your rod and Your staff will comfort him from affliction and protect him as he walks through this time of illness.
Dear Lord, I pray for Your continued divine care in Perry's time of special need.
Please heal his heart, Or Lord. Give knowledge and strength to those who administer to him. Lead their hands and fill their hearts with Your inspiration and love. Lord, I pray for those other than Perry who have similar problems. May Your healing hand also touch their lives and their hearts and fill them with the love which comes only from above.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

My God, you have supplied all of our needs, according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19

With Love to the whole entire Lopez and Troksa families... XOXOXOXO

Kate, wanted you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you, the boys and Perry. The doctors are a little more than 2 hours into it and so I pray now for them as well to have a steady hand and receive divine intervention when necessary... Godspeed, Al

Perry and Kate,
I have been thinking of you all morning. Got to the Guerin Mass late (who knew they changed it to 8:30??) but in time to hear Perry's name read for the mass intentions. So many of us there today lifting you up in prayer, perhaps you could hear the student choir from your room!
Monica

Perry, Wishing you a successful surgery. I remember you telling me about your heart valve about 12 years ago when we talked over the phone. Will pray for you and your family that everything goes well.
