Charlie,
I have spent many hours talking on the phone to Carmen as a new NFB friend this past few months.  I did not know that she was sick.  I just saw your email.  I'm so sorry.  What happened?  I definately will keep her and your family in my thoughts and prayers.  If I can help in any way, please call me.  )PHone 815-297-3793).  I have been out of the loop fro a few weeks as my cancer has come back, possibly in  the optic nerves in my brain.  They have put me on high doses of steroids to reduce the inflammation to try to see what they are dealing with, and because of tha I have gotten shingles.  Great day in the morning!  Tell Carmen when she's awake, she'll get a good laugh ouut of that one!!!  The new cure for blindness is shingles!  I'm starting to pray right now for my dear friend, and for strength for you.  With God, and a positive attitude, and lots of love-ALL things are possible.  LOve, Kathy Lynch
