Hi to All,

I have made my first venture out alone. All the way from Mom & Dad's to Sister Colleen's. I am still not very mobile since my surgery but am moving along. My doctors office called today and they should have some answers from my biopsys hopefully on Monday. It sure seems like a long wait but Junell & I have been keeping real busy.

Colleen told me I better come to update you all before people think my family is keeping me hostage. Ha! Ha! I will probably be here till next week for sure. It sure is hard on Junell & I being away from Darren. We miss him so much. He is busy wrapping things up at the farm & crusher. Once he is done there he will be going back to work at Sterling Truck & Trailer which will make things a lot easier for us to stay at home in the city. I am not able to lift anything more than 10lbs for awhile. My family has been great. Junell has a new love and that is Grandpa Hendriks. Mom shouldn't be lifting either so grandpa has being picking her up lots. It didn't take her long to figure out who to go to to catch a free ride. Brenda & Colleen have been coming over after work to help out thanks to you all. I truly have one of the greatest family's in the world.

Thank you to St Augustine Parish & Father April for having a mass on my behalf Saturday night. Also to my family and numerous friends for being there to come and pray with us. As well as to all of you out there that are constantly praying for me. Keep up the great work! I believe all your praying is working my prognosis is a bit more hopeful than first thought. Thank You does not even start to express how I feel.

Thanks to Janice & Linda for the visit last Thursday it was nice and makes me feel better I have such great friends.

Last night my friends Kathy & Gord Bornhorst came over to Mom & Dad's for a visit. It was great to hash over old times & giggle at the stupid things we used to do. It's so nice to have moments like that to forget about reality!

Today Bernie Stroeder came over with some sample health bread for me. It's pretty good for being healthy for you! Thank You!

Natalie & Emily Klimosko came over for a visit. It was nice for all of us. They have been family friends of ours since before my time. Thanks for the visit Ladies. It was greatly appreciated.

Most of all thanks to all for the phone calls, E-Mails & hugs. I truly treasure all of you!

A good family friend of ours passed away last week. I managed to be strong enough on Saturday to make it to the funeral. I am sure when Mrs. Kaal gets to heaven she will be asking the big guy to let me stay. God Bless Her!

We got a call today that my Uncle Ted from Regina passed away this morning. So we will be going to his funeral this week. Please pray for Mrs. Kaal & Uncle Ted. I think the big guy up there has enough recrutes on my behalf.

God Bless You All,

Thanks for being there for all of us!

Love Donna, Darren & Junell
