Donna, I just wanted to let you know that you, your husband, and

especially your children are in my prayers. I can't even imagine

how hard this must be for you and I hope that they all get good

reports and have speedy recoveries. Please keep us posted as you

can, I know you'll be very busy.

Best wishes and good luck,

Hi Donna,

Prayers will be said for Keli, Jon, and Zach. I know that you have been an

example that they will get through this, too. Give them hugs from Ohio. They

are blessed to have you and as parents.

Blessings,

Donna,

Our prayers will be with you, Keli, Zach and Jon as you go through

this process. What a blessing for your kids to have such a strong and

loving Mom.
