This is what Deanna wrote me:

"In August I was extremely busy with 2 weddings and class reunions (dh's)
plus his alumini dinners...trying to work...take care of my
grandbaby...and take care of my health issues...I will not be on cute for
another 6 to 8 weeks...I will be having open surgery first thing Monday
and will be unable to do anything for a long time... right now I am
trying to go through all the e-mails, pay bills ahead of time...make the
house ready and accessible for when it happens....get things winter ready
as far as I can (cause its happening fast)...I have 2 days (this weekend)
to attend classes for foster care to get caught up...Just preparing like
all good women do...so in all I have absolutely no time and no second to
enjoy with everyone...pretty nervouse and scared about the upcoming
time... starting to freak out some...But I am in God's hands and thats
all that matters ...

please say Prayers for Sally (DLMDS)...she had eye surgery and I am hoping
it worked for her and it heals properly...Will you please let everyone
know I am alive just preoccupied ...I haven't left everyone, just got a
whole lot on my plate and just not sure about how to deal with it all....I
will be back sometime in November...loves deanna

So I suggest we all pray for her and Sally, she needs our support in thoughts and prayers. hugs, Gerry
