Anissa,

Richie and I just got home a short time ago. We were in Boston getting my stitches out, had to be there for noon. After that it was off to a UMass Rehab Center in Worcester, MA. to visit a friend.

You have been on our minds all day as we were in your shoes just two short weeks ago.

We’ll be praying for you, and for a successful surgery tomorrow,

Scarlett & Richie

P.S. Chris, be strong Anissa will be okay! You’ll be in our prayers. Be sure to take care of yourself as well. And remember we’re here you.

Anissa,
I hope it's going really well. Actually maybe it's over now. I wish you and your husband and kids well.
I hope you have a quick recovery.
