Carl,

You probably do not remember this, but back when I was still a lurker (Cynthia's term for those of us who read a lot but did not participate in the forum) I sent you a personal email telling you how much I liked your self-portrait. I added that I hope to be able to paint that well someday.

You took the time for a complete stranger and kindly responded with words of encouragement.

I shall take the time to keep you in my daily thoughts hoping for a complete and speedy recovery for you.

Be strong.

Sincerely,

Janel Maples

Dear Friends,
Thank you so very much for all your caring support! It is such a good feeling to know that many are behind me in my fight. It makes it easier to avoid being overwhelmed and set my determination in even more strongly to do my utmost in getting better.

Irrespective of a person

Carl,

It has long been a goal of mine to be included on your hard drive.

Having a daughter myself I know what it must mean to you to have her returning.

All the best to you and your family.

Mike McCarty

Carl I am looking at this as GOOD news! Just put on your miners hat, grab the flashlight and magnifier and go with your incredible attitude and patient persistence, and things will be GOOD!

I am glad your daughter is coming home (wow to leave SF), you know I have a daughter I could send you too! You know which one.

Carl, I'm so relieved. I was thinking about you yesterday, as I remembered that was the date when you were going to find out whether you could have surgery or not. I'll await news on how that goes and keep all my fingers crossed.

Dear Carl, there are a lot of folks in Georgia that you don't even know thinking of you and praying for you!

Thank you for the update.

I hope to meet you in person some day soon, till then and until you are up to the e-mails again, remember that I too am praying for your family, and your health.

Southern love to you,
Lynn

Hi Carl,
My first prayers for you have already been answered with your good news for surgery, and the chance of a complete recovery and cure. Every time I visit portraitartist.com (believe me that is many times a day!) you come to mind, and I say a prayer....

You are in Good Hands!! And with the people you love. I pray all goes well
God Bless,
Pat
