Please consider sending one or several of your Memories. It is one of the best ways of keeping them alive.

Prayer Requests – A.W. “Bill” – “Tex” Knaps, Jr. – UPDATE - response to
Dale on June 5th. Thank you Dale. I am home now and on antibiotics
for another week. Still
feel very ill. I had an abscess in my large intestine burst. Same as a ruptured
appendix. Lucky to be alive. Will be back when I feel much better. Love to
all of you on Bunkie.com. AW Tex
Janis Leach UPDATE - response to Ed on June 8th. Hi. I'm writing to give you an update on my cancer journey. Tomorrow (June 9th) I will have my last chemo treatment. (Hallelujah!) Then an appointment will be set up with my surgeon to schedule a mastectomy and the removal of my remaining lymph nodes. (The same surgeon who performed my excisional biopsy, lumpectomy, and sentinel node biopsy will also perform this additional surgery.) Surgery will be followed by 6-7 weeks of daily (M-F) radiation.
I have had a terrible time with chemo, and I am so thankful it will soon be over. However, I still have a long journey ahead of me, and I continue to covet your prayers. Love, Janis
