Oh, Doris,

When I first read this on another list we're on together, I thought 
it was Chris who had the tumor. JAWS goes right over Manfred's name 
like a butterfly, so I didn't notice it.

I shall be praying without ceasing for Manfred and his wife, Ingrid.

Merry Christmas to you and Chris.


Love you,

Reeva Parry.
