Hi Everyone,
No, I'm not talking about my mental capabilities. ;) The next couple of weeks I may be a little slow in getting back with you, because my husband is in the hospital. Sunday we went to the ER and by 3 am the next morning (and 2nd hospital) he had surgery for a twisted colon that had to have a section removed. He is still in ICU, and hopefully will be moved into a regular room by tomorrow. I will be spending most of my time at the hospital, but. I will be checking in. For now Hannie has volunteered to take over my gallery. You must be very nice to her or else you will see her avatar of the Hun return--you don't want that to happen!
I will also keep you posted on plans for Nashville. Right now it is a wait and see as to where we might be able to set up. We have already received emails with people desperate for us to help restore their photos. If you know any friends or relations that can spread the word--do it as word of mouth gets the message out the best. Thanks George Hoover for doing just that!

Margie, I'm so sorry that Jerry's in the hospital. Didn't anyone tell him that that's the worst place in the world for a sick person to be? Sounds as if what he's dealing with is serious but not life-threatening. Please tell me that's true! Be sure to get some rest yourself, and know that the old farts down in Gulfport will keep you both in our thoughts, prayers and hearts.
Hugs a million!

Margie I hope Jerry is recovering well. What a lot of stress to be under. :hug:
Hang in there, Margie! Hope Jerry's condition is improving and you're getting more rest.
Tori
Thanks Everyone! :loveit:
Just a quick update about Jerry. He is still in ICU and only got off the ventilator yesterday. Last night his heart was racing and they gave him some meds to bring in down. They had a cardiologist do an sonogram last night. He would have been a 5 which is high and this morning he is a 12 which is bad! They are going to shoot dye up to see if they can find the problem. This is a guy with great blood pressure and no signs of any heart problems.
Very Worried in Kansas
Margie,
Just sent a prayer for you and your husband.
Take care and rest so you don't get sick.
Mary
Margie, sending all sorts of good thoughts your way. Hope your husband's problems get sorted out successfully, and that he gets well soon. Take care of yourself - you're no good to Jerry if you let yourself get sick.
Margie, my thoughts are with you and Jerry.
:hug:
Hannie
Hubby suffered a heart attack this morning. They found out he has major blockage, but cannot do open heart surgery so soon after the other. Say a prayer that I don't loose my love of 40 years.
Margie
Prayers are coming.
Greetings,
My prayers will be there too.

You know you're in my thoughts. Hard as it is, Margie, keep care of yourself too. And give Jerry a hug from me.

Margie, I'm hoping that as I write this Jerry is doing better. I'm sending up prayers to every deity I can think of that he pulls through all of this just fine. Must be a scary time for both of you. Please know how much we care and are hoping that he's home and feeling great very soon. Love to you - the stress of having a loved one ill is, I think, worse that being ill oneself. Take care of yourself and get rest whenever you can.
Please give J a big hug for me, and of course I'm sending plenty to you as well.

I have some sad news to pass on. Margie's love of her life died this afternoon surrounded by his family.
Margie said to pass on her thanks for all your prayers but it was not meant to be.
She will be off for a while.
Margie know that we all love you and send our deepest sympathies.
Margie, my heart breaks for you, to miss your love after so many years...
You are in my thoughts.
I'm sending you all my love,

Hannie
Margie, I wish I could find words - but can't. You'll be in my thoughts.
My husband John and I both want to extend our deepest sympathy to Margie and her family. I can't think of anything harder to cope with than losing the love of your life.
Tori
Margie,
I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you.
Mary

Margie, I weep at your loss. I can't imagine what you're going through. Know that you're loved and that Jerry will never be truly gone if you hold him in your heart, as both of you are in mine right now. My guardian angel is on his way to embrace and comfort you.
Love and hugs!

Our deepest sympathy from my wife, Marge and me. :-[
Margie, I am sorry to hear the news. My thoughts are with you. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.
Shujen
I'm so sorry to hear this. I don't even know, what to say, but still I hope that you know my thoughts are with you :-(
Margie,
I am so sorry to hear about your husband. You and the family are in my prayers.

Dear Friends,
Thank you for all your support, it means more than you will ever know. Next Monday there will be a Celebration of Life Memorial for Jerry. As I go through tons of photos--both digital and printed--it brings home how important the work of OPR is. It's too bad that Jerry preferred to be behind the camera instead of in front of it. However, I do have plenty of pictures of him as a young boy to the present. There won't be a day that I don't miss his presence, but there also won't be a day that I don't give thanks for having this wonderful man in my life for 40 years!
Love,
Margie
Margie,,,I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your husband. You always supported me during my time of grief, and now I'm supporting you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. God bless you, David
Hi Everyone,
Thank you so much for your prayers, cards, flowers, and emails checking to see how I am doing. I may be a little slow in responding, but it's only till I can get my affairs in order. OPR is like a life line and I hope to get back with the focus on helping Nashville.
:hug:
Margie
Margie, I just got this e-mail from our wonderful Mary Schoner and I thought it would tickle you – besides which it reminds me of your strength, and that of the rest of the awesome women in OPR:
Women are angels.
...and when someone breaks our wings,
we simply continue to fly...on a broomstick.
We are flexible.
You go girl! You're always in my thoughts!
Hugs a million
