My best friend, Melody is having surgery at 8:00 on Tuesday morning (11/19/02). Please think of her and add a special prayer for a safe, flawless surgery and speedy recovery. Mel... I am so excited for you, you will soon be on the losing side... and have a longer, healthier life to spend with Dan and the girls. I want you to know how much you are loved by all of us... think of that and keep your positive, loving attitude as you are being wheeled into the O.R. Think of how much better the quality of your life will soon be and you will do great. I will be calling Dan tomorrow to check on you and Mike and I will be there Wednesday to see you. You are in my prayers and I love you, my friend. :) Sheryl
