Dear, Dear La Casa,

A heartfelt thank you to all our friends and neighbors for your prayers, warm wishes and concerns for Tom.

Food has appeared to feed a tired mind and body – MINE.  Bless you!!!

As of this writing Tom has been readmitted to the hospital after a very short stay at Quality Health Care.  Hopefully when the December La Casa Newsletter is distributed he will be well on his way to recovery.  Only time will tell.

Special thanks to Deb and Mike Poe for tending to his precious bonsais.  He asks about them daily.  I took pictures of the trees so he can see and appreciate Deb and Mike’s hard work.  To Marilee, how can I ever repay you for helping me get through one of the longest and worst days of my life.  Also, much love to Shirley and Tom Barnes for joining the long wait during the surgery.  Tom  had his own private cheering section.

The flowers and cards conveyed by Shirley Paro and Tim Davis on behalf of La Casa were bright spots in our narrowed world.

Tom is much too fragile for visitors right now, but hopefully he will soon be ready to see your bright and smiling faces.

Here’s to love, and hope.  Tom Sally and Family
