On behalf of my extended family, I'd like to thank everyone that has sent cards, notes of encouragement, packages, etc. to my brother in law's father, Gerry Mentzter, who is suffering from esophageal cancer. (His surgery to remove the mass went well and he is now in the beginning stages of chemo and radiation treatments.) Gerry & Lois are very grateful for your thoughts and prayers. They have also been completely amazed that so many people, from so many places (I know they've gotten stuff from as far away as the Netherlands!)... people that they've never met (and likely never will) would so willingly take the time & effort to send cards & such. Gerry has enjoyed getting the mail and Lois said that all the cards & letters included nice thoughts & prayers. Thanks again, everyone! The Mentzer Family Tammy & The War Weasels! ~~~~~~~~~~~~ We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother [Posted in FML 6283]
