Richard Pearson spoke with Al Jones on Wednesday, October 8th, and Al reported his sister, Mary Ann, is in very poor health with complications from throat cancer and not doing well at all.

We all are pulling for her and hope she can bounce back from this latest difficulty.

In Mary's own words: "Everything in my life has gone cock-eyed lately. I'm having radiation treatments for throat cancer and hoping for good results. Won't know for sure for quite some time. Ray is doing as well as possible with only having minimum care from me. I spent some time in and out of hospital and didn't have much contact with anyone. I am feeling pretty good today and haven't had many of those days. I go back to the hospital for more radiation this afternoon."

We all hope for some positive news soon, Mary.
