Posted on: Jackson County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Jackson/1801 Surname: ------------------------- To all who have been wondering what I have been doing for the past year. I am in good heath, but my youngest daughter has cancer. She is now living with me and we get along just fine. She had her left breast removed th 28th of February, but perhaps not in time. She had eight treatments of Chemotherapy (one every three weeks) and now she is taking radiation. She takes it 5 days a week for 5 to 7 weeks. She has just finished her second week. She is in good spirits but don't have a lot of energy. I would like to request prayers for her speedy recovery and I appreciate all who have been thinking of me. I do want to tell you that I will no longer be doing Jackson County "look-ups" for people and I also have given up on genealogy. I don't get on the computer very often as my energy is channeled elsewhere. I will still answer e-mail but not queries. God bless each and every one of you. Betty
