Dear Family,

Dad and I want to let you know how grateful we are for a wonderful family. Last night we called all of the siblings and told you about Katie. We really don't know much yet. In fact, I think I may have told you that she was going into surgery Friday. Actually, she is seeing the surgeon on Friday, then we will know more about when the surgery will be etc.

When problems come to families, having a strong family praying for each other is such a blessing. They say there is a power in prayer especially when it is for a loved one. No matter what the trial, it is good to know we have loved ones who care for us!

We hope you all know how important each one of you are to us, even those of you who married into this family we are so grateful you belong to us.

We love you so much,
Mom and Dad
