I have not been so fast on the new jig as I had hoped . My Sister Connie has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and it has spread.
While I know this isn't a good senerio I am asking you patience as I am doing things the best that I can.
Again thanks and the first batch I do hope to finish this weekend

Sorry about your sister, John. She's in my thoughts and prayers.

If I were waiting for a jig I would say take care of the important things first.

John,

So sorry to hear about your sister.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family as well.

As JJ said, and I'm sure all would agree, your family is far more important.

I echo all the wishes and prayers of the others here at OLF.  All priorities change at times like this, and I'm sure yours are in the right place.

Take time for the little things John, no matter what happens this is a time for you to focus on your family. I know I have been there. You won't regret taking the time for your sister. Praying hard.

John, we'll be here if you need a place to get away from everything that's going on there. But, in the mean time, we all understand that this is a time for you to be with your family. Know that your sister and everyone touched by her illness will be in our thoughts.

My family got me through cancer. After a good doctor, a supportive family is the best thing one can have. You both have my best wishes.
