Genentech Folks Send Their Love

Graham had a very mellow day. He was so touched to get a DVD that his co-workers at Genentech had made for him, filled with nice comments, encouragement and interesting updates about people there. A big thank you to Analynn, who made the DVD, and to all those who participated. We really appreciate your thoughtfulness!! And the snacks you sent with the DVD were fun too.

Kim, thanks for the lovely note about how Graham made a difference in your life. It really meant a lot to him.

Laura, thanks for the cheerful balloons and for going to the bank for me. That was so helpful.

Chuck, thanks so much for reattaching that persnickety pump hose in our front garden's fountain. Graham likes his garden looking good!

Joni and Bernard, that was so amazing how you found someone in the hospital to bring Graham some freshly baked, hot from the oven, chocolate chip walnut cookies. Delicious! How did you do that from Florida??

Elliot and Connie, you always find a way to bring delight to our day. Thanks for having Hagen Daz ice cream delivered to Graham's room. Total yumminess!

Alice, thanks for picking Micki up from Pam's and having her stay at your house for the rest of the week. It's so nice of you both to give Micki a home away from home. I'm glad she and your dog, Happy, are having a good time together. I hope Micki doesn't eat all of Happy's food!

Jimmy and Dick, we enjoyed your visit (and the Ball of Whacks). It's always interesting hearing about your latest activities.

Lynn, thanks for the latest beautiful drawings you made for Graham.

Marilyn and Norm, thanks so much for visiting and bringing me homemade food as an alternative to the hospital's cafeteria food. The tomatoes from your garden were so tasty. And we continue to enjoy your beautiful roses.

Gary, thanks so much for the comedy DVDs and for staying with Graham while I explored the rehab places.
