Surgeon Testimonial

Leland J. Cook
I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon then Dr. Cook. He was very helpful with any questions or concerns that I had. He was a good doctor that actually had good bed side manner. When he came to check on me in the hospital you could tell that he really cared and he always did something to make me smile. Also, the rest of the staff was great. I know that it would have been a much harder process if the staff and the hospital was bad. I am so blessed that the Lord allowed me to have such a good experience with everyone!

    Tuesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Been a while

Not to happy with my progress since the last time I posted, well since I am still stuck at 215lbs. Which I am happy with what I lost, but I have really got off track. I now attend a Bible college so its kinda got me off of my routine. They prepare all our meals so its been hard juggling that but 2010 is my year to get back on the wagon and lose weight. So any encouragement and ideas would be helpful!
Have a wonderful and Blessed day!
God Bless,
Jennifer

Hope ya’ll have a wonderful and blessed day!
Love and Prayers,
Jennifer

Happy Birthday Daddy....
on June 10, 2008 6:33 pm

Hey Everyone,
Well, today is my dad’s birthday and most of you know that we lost him on September 19, 2007. Today has been pretty hard, so if you can keep me and my family in your prayers, I would appreciate it.
Here are just some pictures of my dad.. I might have posted them before, but that’s ok….










I heard this song, its by the Crabb Family

I Sure Miss You

If life could only bring again, the days I took for granted when
To hear your voice was just a call away
Oh what I'd give for just some time, to say the things that slipped my mind
There's so much now I'd really like to say
But I can never go back when we did the things we did back then
I'll store those precious memories in my mind
I'll take what you've instilled in me; I'll try to be all I can be
And walk the path that you have left behind


I sure miss you; life will never be the same with you not here
Each passing day has brought much pain
But with God's grace my strength remains
I sure miss you, but heaven's sweeter with you there


The little things that seemed so small are now gold in a memory vault
I cherish everyone I have of you
Now I can see and recognize the part you played to shape my life
I often see you in the things I do
In God's design and master plan He saw the hurting hearts of man
As we would say goodbye to those so dear
So with our family and friends we'll be together once again
We'll view all heaven's splendor hand in hand


I sure miss you; life will never be the same with you not here
Each passing day has brought much pain
But with God's grace my strength remains
I sure miss you, but heaven's sweeter with you there
