A message from ConorMacNessa......

Dear FRiends,

Thank you all very much for your thoughts and prayers for Mary Frances and me. The surgery was performed this morning (Wednesday) and all went well. The surgeon set both bones and installed a plate. She is resting comfortably this evening and will probably return to work Monday.

We ordered a walker for her from Amazon – I guess we can have races now.

Again, we both thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your thoughts and prayers.

Regards,

Tom
