Many thanks to all who prayed for my successful surgery and quick recovery. My surgeon, Dr. Dillon and

the nurses and staff at ARMC were very caring. I felt the arms of our church family surround me these

past weeks and I was blessed with hospital visits and delicious meals from the church.

God bless you all.
