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.

Good afternoon!! Today has been a nice quiet day. Jenny has been here and we have had the best visit. Joey gives us our cue when he wants to take a nap and she and I head to the family room next door for our girl time. She is just so easy to have around and I must say I love having her here!! Joey did have a couple of visitors, but they were just passing through town and they just stopped by long enough to say "Hi!". Just enough for Joey to see them, but then I got to visit with them in the other room. Thanks guys!!
Joey is doing well, but is still very weak. It takes him a fair amount of time to get up the energy to either go for a walk or get cleaned up for the day. He can never do both one right after the other, so we make our plan as to what to do first. Tonight I am going out for a quick dinner then off to the movies. This will give him a nice quiet night alone which he secretly relishes I can tell!! Not much new news, just know he is where he needs to be.
God Bless and {{hugs}} to all.

  3. It's times like this I wish I lived closer to home. I miss you all so much. Don't get discouraged Joey, you'll get stronger. Kerri, you get your rest too. On a lighter note, Joe and I took Max for his second walk over the new Belleair Bridge today. He is soooooo neurotic! As soon as we got closer to the causeway and saw it wasn't Taylor Park he started whimpering. I thought he would do better since we took him last week and seemed to like it. Not today! It was a bit warmer (high 80's) but we made him go since I need the exercise too. As Joe says, the view is beautiful. It also gets those muscles working that aren't use to hills! So we will probably go earlier tomorrow to beat the heat. Hang in there Joey and get lots of rest. Kerri, enjoy your evening and your day tomorrow with da boys!

    Love,
    Deb (sis)
