Jenks, I’m stunned. I don’t want to imagine what you and Tom are facing. I’d rather think about what I am so thankful for, what you’ve taught me about gardening, crinums and soil especially, and even about the seasons of life. Please be compliant and get this thing taken care of asap. ❤️

You and Tom will be in my prayers and held in my heart as you face these health challenges. Please don't let this struggle overwhelm you ....there are lights out there everywhere twinkling for you to see; carols being sung to gladden your heart; and so many of us who are grateful for you, Tom and all you give to this world and we are all pulling for you. sending healing hugs

Great story of pecans and the two entirely different reasons for picking them up - both because of the end result, cash or pies. Love shared between siblings is the best part.

Sending love, prayers for speedy recovery and healthy outcome. 🙏🙏🙏😘😘😘
