Carole-- Just a cyber friend of Joan's--one of hundreds who admire her---wanting you to know lots of us will be praying for Ted. I'll say a special rosary just for him today and offer Sunday's Mass for him. Hope he improves quickly--shingles doesn't usually present itself so dramatically to my knowledge but I'm not a doc. Hang in there and don't worry about offending the list--prayer is a universal language IMHO, Hugs to ya, Ka thy Kunz ----- Original Message ----- From: Carole K.
