Hello Brianne, Patty and I are so relieved to hear about your successful surgery.We were neighbors when you were a little girl and we always enjoyed having you and you Scott and Brandon play with our kids. You have always been a sweet girl with a heart of gold. As soon as you are feeling up to it we would like to come by and say hi. In the meantime enjoy your new lease on life.
