Wed. Feb. 9th
Featured Family of the Week
I received a beautiful thank you note and picture from the Mom of B+ Hero, Michael Cruz. Michael is a cute little guy, a real fighter. He has retinoblastoma in both eyes and he has lost one of his eyes. Thankfully, this little 19 month old B+ Hero he still has sight in the other eye and, on Dec. 23rd, Mom and Michael got the great news that his cancer is in remission. Check out these great pictures. Thanks for your support.

Tonight, I will pay my respects at the viewing of a friend and former co-worker, Barry Baldwin. Barry bravely battled cancer and passed away last Saturday. Like our young B+ Heroes, Barry was an inspirational example of faith and love of family. It is my honor to have known Barry.
