A Huge Thank You

[John Barron]

Before they get started on my surgery prep I wanted to thank all of you. The texts, pm's, messages, phone calls and posts have touched me deeply. Marla and I can't thank you enough for all of your prayers and offers of help.

For those of you that know me know I exercise regularly and try to eat a somewhat decent diet. The issue with my heart is one that I was apparently born with but has never been diagnosised or been an issue.

There is a bad valve that needs to be replaced and while it's a routine procedure it's pretty invasive. There is no reason to believe that I won't be back to normal, well as normal as I can be, real soon.

Again thank you. You have no idea how all of you have touch my heart. When you say a prayer today please don't just pray for me include all your family and friends because
"ya just never know who needs a little extra watching out for"

Our sincerest thanks
John and Marla
