more out of the effort.

Update on Judy Brown

Dear family & friends,

 

We continue to thank each and every one of you for your continued prayers and inquiries as to how Judy is progressing with her recovery from abdominal surgery and her full-out battle with ridding herself of ovarian cancer.

 

In an attempt to keep you posted, and to allow you to send her your encouragment, I have signed her up on caringbridge.org.  Her link is below.  I have assisted her in journaling her journey so far- so you can get quick, condensed information on her progress.  Feel free to send her your messages as well. 

<http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/judybrown1>

 

I would encourage you to check it out. It is fast and easy to peruse.  And, I have just updated the journal. Thanks again for all of your gifts, cards, caring thoughts, and prayers!! 

 

Our love to you all,  

Kristie Stevenson
