Hello Family and Friends!

Well, we have our news. Dad does have lung cancer. Of course, we would have rather not had this news, but we are grateful that it is not liver and brain. We are also thankful that he got to check out (armed with many medications) and arrived home around 5 pm today.
No hospital thanksgiving-Praise the Lord! He has many follow up appointments with heart, liver and neuro over the next few weeks as well as an appointment with oncology. Part of our journey has ended and part has just begun. We ask for your continued prayers as we BEAT this cancer.

Our dad wants to thank you all for the prayers, calls, visits and cards. He, like us, has been lifted and carried by them each and every day.

We are THANKFUL for each of you. Enjoy Thanksgiving, love and kiss on your family and friends and have a Blessed Day.

All our Love,
The Family

Great News!!! Harry and Family I hope you receive my message . Have been so worried about Harry, the blog was a great idea to keep us informed. Lung cancer is beatable. I will continue to pray for your fast recovery. Glad you are home Harry. Love to the family. Annette

We pray and hope for Harry, Barb and the family everyday.

The news is not what we had hoped for, but it could have been worse, alot worse. I'm thankful for that!

If anyone can beat this, it's Harry. The support of his family and friends and Harry's strong moral fiber will prevail.

Enjoy the holiday.

Best always, Mary & Marlyn

So glad you're home. Now we can share french fries at Hardies. Still praying. I'm a survivor and you can be also.

With love,

Hi, Barb & Harry,

Am so thrilled with the good news and the fact that you got to have Thanksgiving with your family. Green grapes - what a great addiction!

I'm coming to TN on the 4th - hope to leave really early so should be at Linda's at a decent hour. Can't wait to see you.

All well here - will have more to tell when I see you. Looking forward to seeing the Elmore Big Moose!

Much love,
Elaine
