So sorry to send a blanket e-mail like this, but with more than a thousand e-mails in my in box when I got home from the hospital yesterday, I simply found I could not reply individually. My son, Kent, (God bless this sweet son) sent a note to everyone in my address book about me being in the hospital due to kidney failure. The response from all of you has been tremendous. I've sat here at the computer this morning with tears running down my cheeks as I read over and over how so many of you were praying for me and how you were asking your church to pray for me and it was simply overwhelming. Having "passed through the valley of the shadow of death" I can honestly say I do not believe in miracles, I depend on them. Thank you all for your unselfish response to the cry of one in dire need. Hugs to each, Dale Hinshaw McMasters "A people who takes no pride in the noble achievements of remote ancestors will never achieve anything worthy to be remembered with pride of remote descendants."
