Hello Shelly and Gary,
I am Gary’s (Cookie to me) cousin, Cheryl. My mom told me about your blog and I wanted to let both of you that I have thought of you often. I sure hope the stem cells improve your health. May God bless both of you this year. I will make sure that I check your blog to see how you are doing.
Love you, Cheryl

Hi Gary and Shelly:
I keep meaning to stop by and say hello! Everytime I watch a Blue Jackets game I think of the night Gary, Tom C. and I went and we chanted “Come on Jackets”. I think we may have gotten a little loud that evening – I think everyone at the game knew we were there! As Tom C. would say, that was a “Mess of Fun” – or something like that! As you know, Tom C. has many great one liners! Anyway, I have thought of you often and we have prayed for you and Shelly many many times. One of these days I am going to stop in! later – Greg

Hi Shelly & Cookie,
He has really progressed since I saw him at Grant and again at OSU rehab. Shelly, you are a blessing to him and to our family. I stop in to see Frannie when I can, and she always tells me about your visits and how much they mean to her.
God bless both of you,

Hello! I’m glad to see this blog up and running. I just got off the phone with stem cell biotherapy from Peru. I was wondering where Gary received his treatments and if the stem cells were taken from the umbilical cord or another method? I am interested in your reply and have other questions if you would respond.
Thank you and good luck!

Hi Shelly & Gary!
It was great seeing you both last evening at the QSI holiday party. It made my night to see you both. I know you were busy trying to make the rounds and chat with everyone, but I’m grateful that I was able to say hello and give Gary a kiss on the cheek. Gary, you look wonderful. I wish you both the happiest of holidays and hope to see you again very soon.
Jeri & Mike Levy
