Alot to be Thankful For!


The Yantzer family had alot to be Thankful for this Holiday! We are so glad that Matt is making progress in this long battle. Matt made a pecan pie with help from his sister Nicole at Grandmas house this thanksgiving. Although things were not the same without Grandpa being there. Matt's Grandpa Connor has Cancer pretty bad and we found out yesterday he probably doesn't have too much time left. Matt loves playing cribbage with him and it's always a fight to the finish to see who will win. My Dad said that he was glad he lasted long enough to see Matt win his fight with the cancer he had. But I reminded him that he too has to fight just as hard as his grandson did. It's hard telling a 85 year old that has so many health issues to keep fighting, but we all hope he doesn't endure too much pain for very long. Lynn also has a very good friend battling bone cancer and she is very concerned in the out come for her family. It doesn't seen fair sometimes!

Again, we are thankful for every day we wake up and see Matt's smiling face. We ask that all of you continue to pray for our friends who are still fighting cancer and also the ones we know have lost their battle. I will never understand but need to be grateful for our outcome and I will never take for granted the things that matter the most in life. Love to All Lynn, Matt, Steve & Nicole

Hey Matt, you are looking good! We are so sorry to hear about your Grandpa/Dad. That is a tough one. We just went through that with Kim's dad. His cancer came on so fast; and he left us a short time later. Life is so fragile sometimes. As you have said, enjoy and cherish each and everyday and always give each other a big hug every night. With this holiday season there is a lot to be thankful for; friends, family and each other.
Our prayers are always with you guys and keep up the good recovery.
Happy Holidays,
Scott, Kim, Cody and Curtis
