Don Johnson (old 1902) - Seems like last week, this cop followed me around whining--when can I be a fireman--well my friend--we DID that and WE can do this too. I do not say this lightly having been a gleason score 6 myself. The trick seems to be to kick the dragon squarely in the gonads and duck to one side BEFORE his ignitor fires off. Worked for me--cancer free 10 years. DVJ

Robin Johnson - What a wonderful blessing your pictures are! They will go on and on and will give the future generation of this family something to look back on. Our prayers are with Russ & Robyn and Ashley & Luke along with Cody and the grandkids.

Kathy Estrada - Hello Russ/Robyn/Luke & Ashley: I just got the news today. Thanks for the blog. We are praying for your total healing. And for God to wrap His loving arms around you that you may feel His peace in the midst of this very trying time. We love you! Kathy & Rey Estrada & Family

Leslie - I will pray for Russ and his family! My mother in law has been battling colon cancer that spread to her liver for four years. As soon as we got word of a third reoccurance, I called a photographer and we did family pictures that very week. I'm sure this family appreciated the time to be together and forget about Russ's diagnosis. We know God is good and prayer is a huge source of strength, so I will lift up Russ's family in prayer too.
