[nfb-talk] Asking for prayers

[Darian Smith]

Joseph,
 my thoughts and  prayers  are with you at this point.  I wish you a
speedy recovery, and a continued positive outlook through the process.
 I look forward to great news to follow and seeing you in Orlando!
(because you're not missing another convention, right?) *smile*
  best wishes,
  Darian
