Is Anyone Still Reading This??

It appears that no one is contributing to it and virtually no one is commenting on it. I still believe this is a great way to stay in touch with the family and hope everyone in all generations of the Larry Packard family who is reading it will leave a comment and let us know you're still interested.

I hear that Mom and Dad are in Tucson tonight at Tara's final piano recital there before they all take off for El Paso tomorrow. We wish them the best and want Tamara and Tara especially to know that they are in our prayers because some of us know first hand how difficult a move is at that age. We hope things go well for you and that you will know that you are loved and missed.

Robert and I visited with Mom and Dad on Sunday evening looking ahead to the chemo treatment for yesterday. I think Mom is doing remarkably well - especially in her optimism and positive spirit. She's a good example to all of us. She had had Cindy and her family to dinner that evening to celebrate Cindy's birthday. They gave us all the updates from being with Velma's family at Alvin's funeral. We enjoyed seeing the pictures of all the cousins.

Hope everyone is doing well and it would be great to hear from you if you see this post. Take care, all.

I still check the blog, and I especially appreciate updates since I am so far away. Good luck with the move John, Sheila, Tamara, and Tara. We'll be thinking about you.

I hope you're feeling well Grandma. We continue to pray for you each day.

Sorry, I haven't checked it as often as I should. I'm going to do better about that though. I am pasting the web address in my favorites page. Good luck to the Whitney's in their move. Especially to Tamara and Tara, I feel for you...I've been there in that situation. It's not a fun one, but hopefully you will be in a good ward and make friends quickly.

I hope Grandma is feeling okay. I hear she's very tired and weak but we are all praying for you and praise you for your tremendous example of courage and strength that you are for this family. I love you Grandma.
