Re: [MOL] Mary !



Mary:  A doctor will only tell you what there is to offer that is being offered at the hospital they are connected with.  I know you and Angelo know what's best, and i will not bring it up again friend.  I am so so sorry to hear how things are going....you are always in my heart, always in my prayers along with your honey.....and your beautiful family.  Could i please have your phone number again?  What time is a good time to call you?  Love you friend, lillian  -
