From Betsy Heckethorn

Thank you to all my WAA friends for the cards, notes, gifts, phone calls, prayers, and the meals brought over for Jim, Mother, and me. I am still very weak but have no pain and the doctor is pleased with my progress.  I would love to attend a meeting, but my immune system is fragile right now after 2 bouts with bronchitis, so will have to postpone until I am stronger.   I miss you all.  Again, thanks you so much,  you all have raised my spirits and made me smile.    Love, Betsy
