Dear Fellow Congregants,

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for all your prayers and caring messages. I am happy to report that the New York doctors, after further testing, completely changed the severity of my diagnosis to a much lesser conclusion. At this time, no treatment is needed. God bless every one for your love, prayers and support.

Love and Light,
Patti Halprin
