“I feel that I am the bearer of sad news lately. One of my best friends & good buddy, Tom Cook
was diagnosed with Pancreatic & Liver Cancer. The tumors are farely large so Tom feels he has had this for some time. The only thing the doctor recommends is that he go to MD Anderson to see if they have any new cures. We all know Tom, his humor is still there & he is a very strong person. He said today the doctor said his weight is a good thing! Keep Tom, Audrey & his boys in your thought & prayers. Stay Healthy! Love ya,” Ruby Ross
