You and your wife made my experience in the USA memorable. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to allow me to spend time with you and your son on my last day at what was then known as Keystone Bank and my final days in PA. That was nine years ago but that kind gesture was imprinted in my heart and I will always cherish the memory.

I know you have heard this thousands of times, but keep the faith. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, and she wasn't given a very long time. She fought and won her battle for 20 years. I hope that G-d gives you all the time in the world to enjoy your loving wife and children as well as your extended 6abc news family. We love you Gary and pray for your recovery. Until we see you again on 6abc my friend, you will be in my thoughts and prayers.<br />Judy BakerJudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04534549325657472765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008154498818034496.post-27573533413936371612009-04-20T19:15:00.000-04:002009-04-20T19:15:00.000-04:00DEAR GARY PAPA

We hope, pray, this nasty thing will go away. A third time??? NO!!! We stand against it. It shall not have you.<BR/><BR/>How can you love someone from afar? Someone who doesn't even KNOW YOU?? But YOU are our inspiration. We hope for you. Pray for you. NO MORE of this!!<BR/><BR/>Might I suggest looking to Jesus? The author and finisher of our faith. NO ONE lives forever. We want you to LIVE LONG!! But the after can be a delight to our souls, what we WAIT and HOPE for. Call on Him. He is real. He knows your pain. He will answer.<BR/><BR/>We so love you.
