Thank God . . . and I give Him the glory for saving my life. Richard, my family and friends were wonderful. I could spend hours telling you how great they were. And my Pulmonalogist was on the cutting edge of his specialty or I may have lost limbs due to blood vessel damage. They were afraid I would have brain damage, or I would be blind or deaf. The first thing I was able to communicate to Richard was I asked him if he had paid the flood insurance!! Everyone laughed and said I was ok. I have just continued to improve over the years and you would never recognize me from the 81 pound lump I was 5 years ago. Thank you, God! My disability keeps me from golf, tennis, boating, beaching and other things, BUT I CAN STILL SHOP!!!!

I have two wonderful sons. Trey is 34 and just been married two months ago to a beautiful, smart woman that is in the convention planning business. They just bought a new (old '26) house in Atlanta and all is well with them.

Chuck (33) and Bobbi have been married for 5 years . . . no children yet but they are working on it. She is head of child development facility in Tallahassee, but aspires to being mother and wife. They are building a new house so life is good. Both guys are self-employed and doing well. At least they are not calling for money.

We have been going to California in the summers for my health . . . we are extending our stay to 4 months (maybe too long) but friends come visit which is wonderful. I am getting back into volunteer work, bridge, churchwork, and I read a lot . . . am in a book club that has advanced my quality of reading . . . but every once in a while I have to read a "beach" book that is mindless.
