To all my faithful family and friends. I need you all. I am entering totally unknown phase of my life. I was diagnosed this week with some form of acute leukemia. A bone marrow test on Monday will give more specifics from which the oncologist will form a treatment regimen. Will begin chemo very soon. And so the fight begins. If this is to be beaten it will be with the combined faith and prayers of all of us. If not, then let the next great adventure begin. Thank you for your faith, hope, and prayers.
