Dear Hootiebelle,

I really comend you on being there for your fellow bandster Joan.

I will say a prayer for her and wish her a speedy recovery.

Please remind her that she will be O.K and things will get back to normal. I too lost my Band. And I know it can be hard. Just tell her to hang in there and things will work out.

God Bless.

My thoughts and prayers are with Joan and her family at this horrible time. I hope for a speedy recovery.

Prayers to Joan that she quickly recovers and heals. Hugs and good thoughts to you for caring and sharing this prayer need.

Please let Joan know I'm praying for her and wishing her a speedy recovery.

I see Joan in perfect health, smiling and energetic. She has skilled doctors and nurses who shower her with their healing arts. Joan is filled with good Spirit and her heart is full knowing of all the prayers and good thoughts of her fellow banders.

And so it is.

I wish Joan lots of luck. She is in my thoughts and prayers and I am sure she will be in good health in no time.

Keep us posted.

Best of wishes for a healthy and speedy recovery. The struggles of weight loss seems to come in a variety of ways. Get passed one and something else pops up. Again many of us send well wishes to you.

Many prayers sent for Joan as she heals....God bless her.

Thank you for posting this for her Linda....you are a good friend. Please keep us posted on Joan....
