To the editor:

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our wonderful community for the prayers and support during our daughters' surgery for scoliosis and also for our son's surgery for a growth in his ear and mastoid cavity. They are both getting stronger and better as the days go on. They have follow-up appointments scheduled in Denver this summer, and Spencer has another surgery scheduled for October or November to rebuild his tympanic bones.  

We continue to make scarves and bags to fund medical and travel expenses and greatly appreciate all who have purchased these in support. It is wonderful to live in such a close-knit community.  

Thank you, and God bless.

George, Stephanie, Spencer, Isabelle and Jory Herod
