George,

So sorry to hear of Miz Anne's fall and injury. Glad to hear she is so spry
and resilient though but I guess one has to be so to put up with you for all
these years, no? Good thoughts and many prayers coming your way. Give the
young lady a hug from all of us.

I'm not allowed to hug her yet, all I can do is hold her hand. Reminds
me of when we were courting 52 years ago and her Dad was watching. <G>
She is a tough lady and has nursed me through many episodes of strokes,
heart attacks, and antibiotic resistant bacterial infections. I will do
my best by her. Thank you.

George
