HI Everyone, Hope you are all doing well and finding as much joy as possible in your lives. I'm not sure if you all know that Frank's parents could also use your prayers. Dad has prostate cancer and is doing very poorly and Mom has breast cancer. She has been taking a med to shrink her tumor and will probably have a Lumpectomy in July. They both have heart disease and diabetes so we worry about them a lot. Frank is amazing considering all the stuff going on right now. He spends a great deal of time driving his folks to the hospital and of course helping me. I'm doing fine. I had my third chemo last Thursday. The effects are cumulative, so it is a bit longer each time to recover but I didn't vomit this time so that is a big improvement. Alanna is taking over a couple hours worth of classes for me starting Monday, so I will only be teaching 3 hours a day now. How will I ever repay all the favors to people? Things are going along fine and I'm so thankful to have Frank, Alex and Alanna and my family and friends. Take care of yourselves and each other . Love and laugh every day. Di

  1. Dianne, it was so great to see you and Frank on Sunday. I am so sorry about Fran, life is throwing the Cutri's some major curveballs, I think that it is time that you all get a break. I'm glad that Alanna is able to take some of your classes for you! Hugs to everyone.

  3. Di, your letter really should make us all think about taking anyone for granted, that we love. Yes, you and Frank are going through one heck of a test of those "positive thoughts", these days, as well as the kids. I pray for you everyday, and you're never out of my thoughts!

    Lots of Love to all of you!!
