Re: vickie h update
Cap, thank you for taking time to let us know about Vickie. She is one very special human being! She has always seemed to glide through life on her faith and love. She has inspired me so many times and it hurts to know that she is in such a fierce battle.
I hope you get an answer about the TDM1 trials quickly.
Knowing how Vickie treasures her family, I know that you will stand strong by her now. Please, please let us know how things are and most of all let Vickie know that she is so loved and appreciated. It's not time to protect us, but to let us love and support her through this storm.
Love and prayers to each of you, ma
