Hi everyone,  computer  is working for now.  I love a miss everyone.  thankyou for all the calls and comments and prayers.  I am really tired but so far so good.  My stomach gets to hurting some but they are really good here about bringing in medications to help.   Thanks for the pony Lisa M.  It is adorable!  I will be sleeping with it.  I look forward to when I can come home and things will be back to normal.  love you all Karen

    Karen,
    I am so glad you received the pony. Since you were not allowed to have flowers I thought you might enjoy the pony just as well. I know it is not quite the same as what you have at home but hopefully he will comfort you until you are able to be home. You know I am always thinking about you and praying for you.
    Love,
    Lisa

    Hi Karen. I’m not sure if you remember me, I’m James Snow’s sister. We used to play together as kids when you lived next door to Hubert and Glenda Baxley. James told me about your blog and I wanted to say hello.
    I live in Minnesota – been here for 16 years now. It’s starting to get cold here and we’ve already had snow, twice! I’m missing that Florida sunshine.
    I hope you are feeling better today – hang in there girl. I’ll be keeping you in my prayers.
    With love – Myrna

    Karen: You are in my prayers. I know that through HIM, ALL things are possible. Some days we really dont do the things that are right but when we need HIM he is there. Is that unconditional love or what. You are a strong lady, with the support of the world behind you. I pray you know that. (Keep stong and the head up 🙂 )
    In His Name
    Love
    Jennie

    Karen,

    I have been thinking about you ever since my brother told me about your cancer. We don’t know why these things happen, but just keep having faith in God and he will see you through. I am praying for you, Don and your kids. Keep strong and know I love you!

    Hey Karen,
    I’ve been thinking about you daily and praying for you. I told William my husband about you and when he saw your last name and who you were married to he filled me in. Don and his brothers grew up across the street from William. We still see and talk to Gene and Bobby. What a small world. I’m glad your having your sisters come and visit you. There’s nothing like family to keep you strong. Keeping the faith, your sister in Christ. Love ya, Vicki Barwick
