[tri-wings] Re: My granddaughter, Catherine Renee, born sleeping

Hi Erin,
     Thanks so much for the help and support.  I know
you converse on line with Mandy and I am thankful for
your being there for her.  I think she is doing O.K. 
I guess its just a "Mother's worry" but I can't help
it.  She is strong and is very lucky because she has a
wonderful, caring and supportive husband.  I've cooked
for them most of this week and I think the nutritional
value helped her physically and thus emotionally too. 
We also talked about walking next week at the local
track.  Today, there seemed to be more smiles than
tears and it made me feel so good to see my daughter
that way again.  However, I know there will still many
more bad days ahead.  Thanks again, Erin.  I'll be in
touch again, I'm sure, if thats alright with you.  

     You, Tyler, Catherine Renee', Mandy & Todd will
always remembered in my prayers.  Pat, Ma Ma to
Catherine Renee'
