Behind Betty's wonderful grin is a positive attitude that will get Betty - and your family - through this, Len.

My best friend went through EVERYthing your letter described two years ago, and one of the supportive things that really helped her was this link:
http://www.caringbridge.org/

I'm joining all those above who will pray that the difficult year ahead zooms by for Betty, you, and your family. Take care, Len, and God bless. #4579928

Wish I could think of some wonderful words to show my support for you and your wife Len! She certainly does have a wonderful smile and I will most certainly be keeping her in my prayers. Actually I will need to write her name down. I have decided this morning that I need to write down who to pray for as I spend longer trying to remember everybody than actually praying for them. But how can I forget that smile! Betty you are on my list! #4631262
