John: we are so glad you are doing so well. Our thoughts and prayers have been wth you, Patty & your family the whole way.

Dear John and Patty, What a treat to know you were 'profoundly' happy to be back home and am sure it will be soon that you make your plans to be back here in the green desert. Thanks for the GREAT laughs. Sanguine. yup! I get it.

I marvel at your ability to report back to caring friends and family with a delightful sense of humor. Seriously? With all you have been through one might expect to see a very grumpy version of John. It's good you can take the ' high road! '

Each day is a gift. It looks like John knows how to do it--that shifting combination of courage, gratitude, apprehension, hard work, and love. Many are on this path. Cherish the growth........Jean Stoenner

Geesh! Most people go to the county fair to ride the roller coaster. May the patches, pills, pokes, prods, pans (bed?), pulse oximeters, pablum, and all other pee's get you back on your feet & home in record time. Sending hugs, love & healing energy. Leo

CONGRATULATIONS!!! TIME FOR YOU AND PATTY TO CELEBRATE WITH GUSTO !!!

Hi John; and yet another ride today where I have memories of chatting, challenging and teasing you as we rode. This coming Saturday we will ride the most memorable hills of Patagonia and I will feel you as I pass you once again. Tom H.
