style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">It has been a rough and rocky
first half of this year. As a lot of you know I help care for my
grandmother for almost 13 years. It was my honor to do so. Some of
you had the pleasure of meeting her over the years while we lived together.
When you were introduced to her I probably said something like This is
my Grandmother Dorothy Magness and you would have said something like its nice
to meet you Mrs. Magness and she would have said “ Oh call me grandma everyone
else does”. Grandma passed away April 14, 2010 at the age of 95.
It was a peaceful passing for her. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">A few days after returning from
Granma’s funeral I received test results from a biopcy and was told I
had skin cancer (melanoma) and would need to have surgery to remove it and
possible chemo following the surgery. I was not able to share this with
my biological family at the time because my mother’s husband (David) was
dieing of Lukemia and I could not lay my worries on them at the time. So
what I did was turn to my NFB family with my troubles. You were there
for me some of you listened to me and then prayed for me, some of you cried
with me and some of you laughed with me. There is no way to put into
words how important this was to me at the time and will always be in my heart
as a treasured memory. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

I left to join my mother in their home in <st1:State

must thank you for your thoughts and prayers for my mother and our family
during this time. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

prepare myself for outpatient surgery on Tuesday June 8<SUP>th</SUP>. I
am propped up in my recliner with my foot on a pillow to keep the swelling
down. I am hobbling around but getting better every day. I
received a call from the doctor yesterday who informed me that I do not need
to worry any more he was able to get all of the melanoma and all I have to do
is heal up. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
