Holy Cow Phil. I am just amazed at all you do! I read the southshore express article. It's terrific.

I am very sorry to hear that after all that work, you have to go back to VA. At the same time, it's INCREDIBLE news that Lorraine is down to ONE tumor. This is phenomonal news.

Very touching to read that you've both lost your 1st spouses to cancer, and are now in these shoes. Amazing that you two keep showing the power that "one" person can make.

Hugs,
kim
