Thank you, Emily, for keeping us informed. It must be incredibly difficult to do so in such a traumatic moment. God's grace is with you, giving you strength and wisdom. Al and Kelly, we continue to lift you and your family to God in our prayers.

It's sad that we have to have a site like this but I pray for everyone struggling with health issues.

I truly have no idea what your journey is like, no matter how much I try. I imagine that you are brave and scared, committed to fight and tired enough to want to toss in the towel. I can help keep this line open for you. God bless you

You are all in our thoughts and prayers

With love, prayers and big man hugs from the odd duck who pops in now and then, who rejoices knowing that you are God's embrace: never alone, always cherished. Paired with the inexhaustible love of your family, you are surrounded by light, hope and joy.

Great news Al. I know what the world of unknowns feel like. I Just had tests to check a scare after almost 5 yrs. I celebrate with you from afar. May Christmas be a time to focus & be Thankful.

A good man is hard to find. That's the bad news. The good news is, we know where to find you for at least the next coupla days. You are a good man, Al, one blessed with a family who loves you as strongly as you love them. And God loves you even more

Al, praying for you my friend (friend from Cedar-70).
