Thanks to all of you at St. Thomas' for your prayers, support, and many kindnesses during my recent surgery and recovery. First of all, I must thank Nancy Lee and John for their prayers, emotional and spiritual support, and never-failing encouragement throughout this ordeal. From the first day that I told them of the need for surgery, they were both totally supportive of whatever I needed to do in order to regain my maximum strength. I cannot thank them enough!
