To know Joey and Kerri is to love them. The news of both of them being diagnosed with cancer is heartbreaking. We've created this site so that you can get updates, offer help, and use the guest book to write thoughts of encouragement and love. The outpouring of love and support they are receiving is very wanted and appreciated, however there will be times in the future when the Lynchs may not be able to keep up with phone calls and visits. Please use this site as an alternative means to stay connected.

It is absolutly amazing what a shower can do for one's soul. Joey had his first one this morning and a new man emerged from the bathroom!! Because he is feeling much better and they decided to remove the IV 's, it looks like we may be coming home this afternoon!! He still is not eating, but has gone back to liquids and the doc feels that is all he needs. Food will come in time. We are getting ready to go for a walk then we will make our plan for later.
We'll keep you posted!

  9. Great news, Joe & Kerri! A bit of advice for the travel home...surround him with lots of fluffy bed pillows for the ride home. Makes traveling in the car after surgery infinitely more comfortable.

    Best wishes to you both...

  13. Steve and I just returned from a lovely gathering of fellow church mates to wish Marty and Marsha Ellis bon voyage Thursday and you are in the thoughts and prayers of all. If good wishes translate into action, you both are surrounded by quite a powerful force of love and respect.
    Marsha was treated for a tick bite which left the tell tale bulls eye and she has since learned that Holden is the "epicenter" for Lyme Disease in this area. (Nemo and Madigan tested + last Spring!) So today's tip is: wear your white socks over your pants outdoors!
    Click your heels together three times! "There's no place like home..." See you soon, Steve and Andrea
