After Dave’s update this morning, we received this email from Dave’s parents, Joe and Myrna Dias:

Hi Irene!  We are thinking of you and praying for you to be feeling sooooo much better.  Dave’s update said you had actually had an appetite and ate half a hamburger and fries!  How wonderful.  It will surely help you to gain strength now that the stem cells are transplanted back in your body.  We pray they will do their job and get you on the long road to recovery!  Everyone is taking very, very good care of you at the hospital!  Loved the picture with the birthday cake!

Golly, you look real cute with short hair!

Dad has been especially remembering all packages you sent with new commemorative stamps plastered all over the covers!!!  You are so special and always thoughtful.

Mom remembers all the times you have thought of the perfect items for birthdays, etc.

It will be so fun to have you able to get back to your crafts and your handmade cards, and your lovely home and garden!

Love, hugs, and prayers to you, Dave, Jocelyn, and JoAnna

Thanks Mom and Dad!
