Thank yous
Everybody is asleep in the house right now, so I thought this would be a great time to say thank you to everyone who has brought cheer our way. Thank you to Uncle Toogie and Aunt Frances for the flowers. Thank you to Torie & Eric Shores (our neighbors and friends) for the yummy chocolate cake. Thanks to Carolyn & Mike Sacco (Carolyn used to work with Troy in Syracuse) for the goody box with all of Troy's favorite sweets inside. Thanks to Angela & Bill Coryell (their son, Blake, is in Derek's class) for watching the boys all day long while we were at the hospital for Troy's port surgery this past Wednesday. Thank you to the entire GE management team (Dawn Wolterink, Brandon Smith, Brian Hinchman, Michelle Woock, Brad Hegemier, and Joe Egitton) for the HomeBistro.com gift certificate. Please let me know if I missed someone on that list as it was given to me by a third party. A second thank you to GE and any management involved in allowing Troy to work from home. This is HUGE for us and has alleviated a tremendous burden both mentally and financially. We cannot express how grateful we are. Thank you to Bridget McGrady (Bridget works with Troy in Atlanta) for the chocolate/fruit arrangement that was delivered. Thank you to Elizabeth Ministries and Cristi Kent for setting up food deliveries each week to our home. We received our first delivery yesterday from Elizabeth and Luis Albor and it was really tasty, so thank you to them as well. Receiving the meals from the folks at GE and from the people involved with St. Catherine's church is another unbelievable burden that has been lifted from us so we can focus on the kids and getting Troy better and not have to worry about preparing meals. The endless calls, emails, prayers, and cards that we have received are noteworthy as well. I know there will be many more thank yous to come, but I wanted to start somewhere by saying how appreciative we are just knowing that people are thinking of us during this difficult time that our family is going through. It really helps knowing we have this huge cheering section behind us. God bless you all.

I also want to thank everyone who is helping out my Brother, Terry, Derek and Ryan. It is comforting to know that even though we are in NY that there are so many people who care in GA also. I can't say enough thank you's to all of the people who care about our Family. Toni (Troy's Sis)
It was extremely hard for us to leave Troy, Terry and the boys last Sat to come back to NY for a few wks and try to get our things here in order so that we can return to ga quickly! But, knowing there are so many earthly angels filling our shoes until we return is very comforting. Toni & Mike and Chris & Michelle have already volunteered to do whatever it takes to keep our household running smoothly as well as care for our menagerie (which I will miss a ton)so we can return to Ga soon. We are so proud of all our children, spouses, and grandbabies as well as friends, neighbors, and family members who continue to offer support and help. Troy, hang in there and keep thinking positive. We will be there soon- and even though you know it, We have to say just how much we love you- all of you!!!! Love and see you soon- Mom & Dad xoxoxox
Troy and Terry My heart goes out to all of you. You are in my prayers. I am so glad to hear about Troy being able to work from home, what a relief for you. I keep in contact with Troys mom, I haven't talked to his father yet as he can't talk about it without breaking down, please let me know if I can be of any help.Your boys are beautiful.
Love Aunt Jackie
