Special Thanks to the Yates Family

 

There will be several "Thank you's" to several people.It will take us a while to get you all into these pages. This is our start.
Mike,Susan and David Yates,

In Oct. 02 You called my home Mike, and you told me that you hadn't been able to sleep for 3 days. God told you to help me but you weren't sure of what to do.

You schedualed an appt. for me to see your dentist.Since then Dr Larry Stephens, Dr. Fisher and the whole staff there have become close friends to both Sharon and myself.

Dr. Stephens didn't tell us that day but he suspected cancer. He felt he should send us to another Dr. Dr. George Lee and his staff have become close to our hearts as well.

Sharon and I had depleted all our funds due to doctors visits and medications. We did not have the money to pay on that day. You explained our situation and worked out a plan with them. It was a cold rainy day but you made it not seem as bad as it could have been.

You have driven us to several doctors appointments, taking time off your job to do so.

When you saw the car we were driving you loaned us your red Kia Sephia to use for over a year while you paid the insurance. Wow!

You took us home from Atlanta on the day I was finally released from Emory.You are more than a friend to me Mike, a LOT more!! I love you!

Susan, every day after you'd work all day as a nurse at Georgia Pain clinic, you'd come over and clean out the whole area that the doctors had done surgery on.I had double vision at that time and my depth perception was WAY off. I couldn't do it. But you did it. I REALLY appreciate that. It would take you over an hour, standing and bending, picking and pulling all the dead flesh and anything else that wasn't supposed to be in there.You have bleesed me, us , many times in many ways. We love you and thank you.

Many times when I'd open my eyes I'd see David standing there looking in and helping you. Sometimes he was using a flashlight to look into my face. He never seemed scared of me. Even now, when I ask him to pray for me, he'll smile, he tells me he does pray for me, he gives me a BIG hug and tells me he loves me. He also says he's the president of the "Donnie Fritts fan club" I love you buddy!

Mike, if it had not been for you, I KNOW that I would not be alive today. Thank you for not only listening to Gods' voice but for obeying it! I love you, we both love you all deeply!
