About Fran's Blog
We found out on July 7th that Fran has colon cancer. We're blessed to have so many people in our lives that care and want to support us, particularly during this challenge. As many of you know, Fran will have surgery July 31st so I have created this blog to keep everyone apprised of Fran’s healing journey. Please feel free to check back often and post any comments or questions. With all our family and friends – we felt this was the best way to communicate so we can focus on Fran’s healing and recovery. ~ Love, Theresa
A Message From Fran
“To each of my friends and family…Thank you so very much for your thoughts, encouragement and most of all your prayers! The next few weeks after my surgery will be very difficult for me and as much as I would love to hear all of your voices and to be able to tell you how I am doing, it will be too difficult and, quite honestly, overwhelming. I promise that I will pull all of your love into my mind and soul and battle this without resolve. When I can, each of you will hear from me and you will hear from me my gratitude. In the meantime, I leave my voice to my beautiful wife, the center of my life…Theresa, and hope all of you know that her strength has been my core! Until then…" ~ Love Fran

Fran, great news to learn that the surgery was not only successful but that you are up and about (a little) so quickly. Here's best wishes for a speedy recovery and prayers that the test results will show no surprises. You're a tough old bird and I know you'll be back on the links in no time. Rest well. Theresa, thanks for keeping us all informed. Steve

It's Friday - here's a quote for you both. "Whatever you dream or think you can do, begin it! Boldness has genius, magic and power in it" The quote made me think of you both...
ReplyDeleteSo glad you both were able to leave the work behind and enjoy the Big Apple - tear it up!
