[NFBMD] Update: Health News

[Sherry Smith]

Thank you so much for the update on Sharon! Kenny and I have prayed for
Sharon every night and will continue to do so for as long as she needs us
to. We are praying she'll make a 100% recovery and get all of her fine
motor skills back.

Please give Sharon our love.

Sherry and Kenny Smith
