This is Susan a/k/a "Mrs HooBdooBdoo". It goes without saying that this past week''s very unexpected, not too pleasant, shocking news has knocked Leo and me back a few steps ... BUT, we are both going to meet this challenge head on, not only physically, but emotionally and spiritually. We know, without a doubt that God is in control and guiding us through. I will try and quote one of Leo''s favorite contemporary Christian songs ... "I know that when I am walking through the valley, I am not alone, and when I am on the mountain top, I didn't get there on my own." We claim this as our anthem now as we walk through this "valley". And, yes, we are claiming that we will be back on the mountaintop again!

We know that in times like these, we are ALL at a loss for words, so please do not feel bad if you don't say anything, we totally understand. So, if you find yourself wanting to say something, but don't know how or what to say, simply send Leo a "smile" or "heart" emoji or a "team HooBdooBdoo" and we will know what you mean. We both love and appreciate each and every one of you.

Now, to my Leo ... I loved you then, I love you now, and rest assured, I will be right here beside you as we walk through this valley together. I love you with all my heart and soul ...
