<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>Shelley, I am sorry to read that Abe has been diagnosed with
Lymphoma. I hope that it can be controlled and you will have some quality
time with your sweetie. Those words are so terrible to hear. Drool
on the way for both of you, as well as for Owen, that the biopsy is
negative. Ben and Pw. Charlie will be sending drool and I will be offering
prayers.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>Drool and prayers are also on the way for Cookie and her postponed
eye surgery. I am saddened to read that she has other problems which are
standing in the way of the operation. I do hope they can find the reason
for the low platelet count, and et it up to a level that will allow the
operation so she can get relief.</FONT></DIV>
