   Gee Toni - hope you're feeling better soon - it is depressing to be ill -   
   hope you are well enough to go to the dance - sounds like fun!  Take care of   
   yourself.  Got some good news about my dad today - seems he is feeling a bit   
   better and may get out of the hospital by the weekend.  Yey!   
   Thanks for taking the time to reply Tony - especially when you're not   
   feeling so well yourself - I'll keep you in my prayers also.
