Dear Listfriends, You may remember Ray Lakin, who lives in England, as a listmember who previously posted on occasion. His wife, Helen, has Parkinson's, and he was very active in seeking information that could help her. Ray and Helen live in a beautiful home with their daughter Vicky Chilcott and her husband Simon. My sister and I visited with Ray and Helen last June; they most graciously invited us to stay in their guesthouse, and were instrumental in guiding us around the UK and assuring that our vacation was truly memorable. They are a truly warm and lovely couple. I have learned from Vicky, that Ray has been diagnosed with an inoperable tumor on the lung due to asbestos exposure, and is in hospital. This is following a cataract operation on March 15, following which he experienced great fatigue and depression, with loss of appetite. I wonder if listmembers would be kind enough to e-mail a note to Helen and Ray, whose diagnosis was quite sudden. You can send e-mail to Vicky, who will print it out for Helen to read, at: [log in to unmask] Or you can send the message to me and I will forward it to Vicky. I am sure your messages will be appreciated. Best wishes, Kathrynne
