Update On Joanne

Hello,
My name is Heidi and I just wanted to send my deepest condolences to Mike and the kids and his entire network of friends and family over the loss of Joanne on September 11, 2006.

I had the pleasure of working with Mike as I bossed him around for a few weeks a year ago showing him “Heidi’s Ropes” at BRC …I betcha he hasn’t used any of them ... hm ... probably not.

I had an opportunity to meet Joanne one day as she drove to Mike at BRC to bring him a thermos of soup for lunch and I have to say that brief five minute meeting was enough for me to know that I had just met a wonderful superhero.

I have dealt with the tragedy that cancer brings to a family and I can’t say that I will never know how to deal with the way it takes the most special people in the world.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Mike, Darcy, Dean and Dylan ... God bless you on your journey of healing as God has blessed Joanne on hers.

Sincerely,
Heidi Elizabeth O'Malley
