Just received a disturbing letter from my friend, Russ Weiskircher, 45th Inf Div. Lee and I got the chance to meet up with Russ, his wife Janie and their friend, for lunch, during our trip to Atlanta.
Dear Friend: Lunch with you was the last outing for Janie, i.e. the last before some tragic experiences. She has just spent a week in the hospital and is home tonight after surgery to amputate one third of her right foot. It is the result of a circulation problem. Needless to say things are a little upside down here while I adjust to the TLC mission for the next several weeks/months--whatever it takes. It's is far from over. If this doesn't work she faces more surgery and the possible loss of the right leg. So please keep her in your prayers. I will keep you informed and I hope the news will be better. Russ
All my best to Janie and to you Russ. It saddens me she had to go through this. I pray that it won't get worse.
