Saturday night our family experienced an amazing act of generosity. A group of friends held a Halloween party which doubled as a benefit for us. Around a hundred friends gathered in a cozy, decorated barn with a DJ, dancing, food, drink, a silent auction and raffle prizes. A big "thank you" to Russ & Kristen, Michele & Garrett, Becky & Blair and Sharon & Rick who organized and hosted the event, and to all who attended, contributed and took part in any way. Your love and support will help us get through this time emotionally and financially. I was thrilled that I felt up to it and stayed almost to the end! It was wonderful to see everyone, we had such a great time – and if hugs were prayers then I have nothing to worry about in a week.
And on a side note, thank you to whomever left an unsigned card on the front door for us. We wish we knew who left it....

A great time and a chance for people who care about you to get together to celebrate your strength in this fight. A lot of love to support you on your next giant step toward being CANCER FREE!
Dear Debbie, I have always been so thankful for your sweet love. My heart almost bursts realizing how much you have also come to mean to a whole host of friends and close acquaintences. I can't be there with you, but I know they will lift you high, so high you will be able to overcome whatever you must endure. I thank God for those dear people who fill your life with love.
