[Oe List ...] Jean Long needs our prayers and care

[Beret Griffith]

It is wonderful to hear that Jean is improving and resting comfortably.
Paul and I had a short conversation with her yesterday afternoon. She
sounded much better. On Monday I called Jean and she was in the midst of
something and could not talk. The person on the phone excitedly told me
Jean had someone with her all the time and she had not seen anyone with so
many friends who are caring about her. She said it was unusual for people
to be so attentive to a patient. Many thanks to Paula, Rosemary, Karen and
Mary Laura, the regulars spending time with Jean.
