Dear Brierley Blogger Buddies,

Thank you for your continued prayers and love that you have sent. The family was gathered together again today with Jill. Here she is up to take a walk. She did two rounds today, two times. Amazing -- what a miracle that she is still with us. In this picture she is dressed in her Louis Vutton designer hospital gown, and walking with her entourage. We are running this race together every step of the way.

She sends everyone her love and like the apostle Paul, she sent out a little message.
Phil. 1;3 " I thank my God upon every remembrance of You".
So also Jill treasures all her special friends who have followed her through this journey of cancer. We have a video of this time today, that we will post later, along with Jill's message to everyone. If you post any comments below, Casey or one of the kids will be able to read them to her.

Dear Jill,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the part you have played in my life. Because of your presence in Amy's life she became a joy to our family and has given us three wonderful grandchildren.It then continued on to Stephen marrying Cindy and two more precious grandchildren. This all happened because you are the blessed person that you are. Again thank you and God bless you and your family.
Love Eunice
