As most of you know by now John's wife of 67 years Liz passed away last week.

John is very depressed over this great loss.

He called me this morning to tell me he had just returned from the doctor. John has been complaining of numbness in his legs for some time.

The doctor told him this morning his right leg MUST be amputated below the knee.

Surgery is scheduled for Monday morning.

Our Old Friend has had more than his share of grief and pain this week. Please keep him in your prayers.
