Update:

Update on Greg Petry - Randy's brother in Fl. Home, is walking a little farther everyday - he has made a mile! Doing well. Concern now is to guard against depression - apparently heart patients are prone to depression. Greg has been to work a little. He is definitely on the mind. Thank you all sooo much for all your prayers!!! We love and miss you all - Thanks, Alicia Petry

THANKS EVERYONE!
