Thank You I would like to extend a sincere thank you to my family and friends for all your prayers, cards, meals and love while I was in the hospital and during my recovery. The love and support you gave were instrumental in my recovery and ability to return home so quickly.

To list all that were so kind and helpful would be difficult. I suspect I may miss someone; during part of my illness I was unable to respond to your kind wishes and support. So many people brought meals, stopped by to offer get well wishes and brought flowers and cards.

I can never tell you how much this helped my recovery.

I also want to thank the staff of Mercy Hospital and the West Campus for all your care and hard work in getting me back on my feet. I am so blessed to have so many friends and such a loving family.

Thank you all very much.
