I was thinking of you Dave and decided to check in on the ODM site. I saw that I last left a reflection in 2022. I think an update is in order.

Jennifer (Pooher) and I have stayed in touch and more so in recent years. I had a significant battle with Multiple Myeloma over the past 2.5 years. The original diagnosis was for only 2-3 months. Fortunately, aggressive treatments and prayers were successful. My current estimate is for another 4 years. Prayers are what made the difference and even my Hindu doctor says I’m a miracle. Jennifer became aware of my battle and that prompted her contact and she offered prayers.

Your family is still involved with your friends on your behalf Dave so you still have an influence on many lives. I believe you wouldn’t mind that I’ve taken the privilege of occasionally calling Jennifer Pooher. I think it tickles your memory in her mind, at least I hope it does as that is my intention.

I love you brother and think and pray for you often Dave.
