Please lift our friends and their families in your thoughts as they face challenges and difficult times:

Julia and Preston (Kenneth)~Preston begins raidation treatments today. Julia will only be able to see him every 2 weeks.  He will be hospitalized for 4 to 8 weeks.

Tracy (Daniel)~"I have struggled nearly alone for 11 years after the death of my husband, Daniel's father. Though he died from asthma, may as well been suicide since he didn't tell me until it was too late. His death date is coming close, August 8, 1991."

Jerri (Tommy)~"I get overwhelming feeling of inadequacy even after almost 4 years.  Will this ever stop?"

Cheryl (Tara)~About disagreements among members.  "I know that emotions run high in this group - that is why we are here.." She wishes that it were easier for us to step back and consider another's feelings before we respond to particularly emotional topics.

Shirley (Derek)~"I have not been very stable for many months now and am searching for who I am and how I can live without Derek with much difficulty. I want to live again for the rest of my family but the only way to survive is living in denial still after 13 months.  This is ongoing and there seems to be no end in sight."

Marcy (PJ)~"My father-in-law, John, has been moved into a nursing home, due to advanced Alzheimer's disease.  Please send us wishes and prayers for strength."

Sue (Garrison)~Her daughter has basal cell carcinoma on her face, and she is having surgery to remove a larger area this month.

Andrea (Jonathan)~She's been hospitalized.

Marcia (Doug)~"My son Jeremy's battle with Hodgkin's disease."  (Ongoing concern, until Jeremy is in remission.)

Please contact Marcy through POS group or at m.m.carter@att.net to list your concern.
