I am so glad for your progress. Don't sell yourself short. You are doing great. We will go out again this next week for lunch and a walk. I can tell you, it is one day at a time, you will be as good as ever in a few more months, keep on keeping on. And, I know you think Phyllis, Mike and me are mean for pushing you, but that is what love does. Love you good, Marilyn

Still pray for you every day. Know what it feels like to be tired all the time. But...it will pass.

We love you and miss your smiling face.

You go Aunt Bloss! I have tried to call you several times since you've been home. I expected you couldn't answer the phone for the most part. But your answering machine isn't picking up. I will keep trying, since I don't want to visit without calling first.
Love you,
Connie

Im glad to hear that your home i also live in Fayetteville NC and it helps to see a familiar city with the journals i hope you continue to improve and live life to the fullest.

My friend, you did very well today. Thanks for making me seem like family, you said I was mean for making you eat your food. That's what friends are for, we want you home and eating and sleeping in your own bed. You are doing so well, you don't want us giving you help when you get up. You played a game of cards today, you did better than me, I forgot some of the rules. You are doing so great, love you good. Marilyn

The staples are out, and you have gotten over another hurtle. You are doing great keep up the therapy, even when you feel tired. Remember, the worse is behind you and the best is to come. It has been great seeing you at Village Green, doing better every day, keep on keeping on. Love you, Marilyn

Dear Sherry,
I am praying for you today - all the way from Arizona! I am so thankful that Carol has had the freedom to be with you. She loves you so very much!

May GOD be with you in an extra special way today as your staples are removed.

With love,
Kathy Fletcher

Carol, you are truly blessed, I thank you for sharing about your family, it is nice to see a family following hard after the Lord. We, here in Fayetteville, will do our best to comfort and care for Sherry while you "catch up" on things with your children and husband. It was nice meeting some of your relatives the last few days, you are all such nice people. Rest easy, Marilyn

Thank you, Carol, for the updates. And thank God for your wonderful children, husband and mother in law who have helped you be able to be with your mom during this time. What a family!!!!!! I was able to visit today with Aunt Cherry Lee and was pleased to see her progress. God is certainly working. Will continue to pray for healing rest for her and renewed strength. Love you all, Sarge.

I am so pleased with your progress, you are doing better everyday. I know the food tastes bad to you but remember you must eat to get strong. I hope to come by this afternoon after church, let me know if that won't work (Carol).See you later gator. Love, Marilyn
