Special Thanks

To Randy & Lois Sarver for providing a "home base" including the daily hugs and moral support. Special thanks for all the work they did in moving things around for our comfort including our own computer room and TIVO. They even gave me a garage that I immediately made my own: I think Lois would like to take this donation back as she shakes her head and says "its growing!" And not to mention the elevator that opens into our bedroom so Randy can keep Diane on her toes.
To Marc and Christine for daily communication and support, plus providing special occasions that enable Diane to go into the hospital and reminisce (ie: Dream of the good times). A few of these recent memories include 1) the announcement of their pregnancy 2) all expense trip to Avalon, Catalina Island where Diane and I first met (including helicopter transportation, luxury private condo on the beach with golf cart, and fine dining for 3 days).
To Diane Cunningham, a new friend who understands even that which we don't know because she is a kidney transplant recipient. She is a walking medical resource and most importantly, she loves Katie: She recently lost her golden retriever a trained "k-9 Good Citizen", and has made it possible for Katie to possibly visit Diane in the hospital. In addition to that, she has offered to help take care of Katie as needed to allow me time for those long visits to the hospital (a giant weight off our shoulders).
To Dana, Eric, Nathan, Betsy and Gracie, for taking such great care of Katie so we could take such a memorable trip to Catalina.
To all our family and friends for their visits, support and prayers. So many have offered to help and I'm sorry we can't mention everybody, but Diane goes into the hospital buoyed by every one's attention and love. Please make use of Diane's blog so all can share the common bond we have with Diane.
Words can't express what your support means to us. Thank You from the bottom of our hearts.
Love, Jeff and Diane
