Prayers are with you Alma. My youngest nurse is an oncology nurse (Shelley) and our annual Nacogdoches show donates proceeds to the American Cancer Society.

Good luck and as said: Our prayers are with you. ________________________________ From: Paul Smith <sealingwaxred@xxxxxxxxx> To: "tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Fri, December 16, 2011 1:43:34 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: bummer news Ditto Sent from my iPhone On Dec 16, 2011, at 11:11 AM, Biggestdaddyo <biggestdaddyo@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Fight like Hell Alma!
