Congradulations on such great news! You are an inspiration to those of us who have just begun our battle. To know that you have been fighting for twenty-two years gives me hope that I will be around for some time! Keep on fighting and I wish you the best of health.

Tricia,
This is the greatest news!!
We didn't make it to Phoenix for spring training this year but we just bought a new motor home and I am sure Ken will insist on going next spring. We will be sure to stop in St. George to see you then.
Love N' Hugs,
Marlys
