Friends of The Gastons

As most of you know, our wonderful friends the Gastons are facing a particularly difficult challenge that began only a couple of week ago when Gary was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and proceeded with his family along with all of our hearts and prayers to M. D. Anderson Hospital in Houston for immediate treatment. Gary and his beautiful family are ready to fight back this disease and we who love him, Debbie and his family are all down for this battle with them.  Gary just yesterday began his treatment Full Throttle and will be in Houston for 28 days in insolation for this the first of several upcoming rounds in his battle, then he will get to be home for a couple of weeks to get ready for Round Two and the following rounds.  This is going to present his family with a lot of travel and extra expenses as they will want to be by his side whenever it is possible and we hope to ask for any assistance the loving friends of the Gastons would care to offer to help out in that regard.

To our knowledge, the Gastons could also use any extra frequent flyer miles you can spare so that someone will always be able to be there with Gary, and they also have an ongoing GrubHub account as well which helps them be able to have some variety from the onsite cafeteria food and stay right there by Gary's side.

We are all pulling for these folks and know you will want to as well.  Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Please feel free to forward as you see fit.  Thank you all so much!

Thanks also to my sista, Linda Murphy Nelson for brainstorming despite being laid up herself and my new friend, Kathy Shifter who has worked hard helping to figure out this process.
