Updates ...

I've been spreading the word among your friends at Krause Publications in Iola, and people are - of course - shocked and deeply concerned. Today, folks will be back in the office following the long weekend, and I'll be fielding more questions from those yearning for updates.

Which brings me to a request: I've found this blog to be wonderful for keeping in touch with you and was especially moved by recent posts that give me more information on how you're doing. I hope people who are able to visit you will continue to provide messages here on your status until that wonderful day when you'll be able to give us your own messages in person.

We all pray that that will be soon. You are constantly with us in our thoughts, but we're looking forward to the point at which we can, simply, give you a hug.
