Past Two Weeks
Since Sam's treatment two weeks ago, he has gotten weaker each day. He has only been able to work 1/2 day in those two weeks and that was too much for him. It looks as if his 40 yr. career
here at Rock-Tenn will be ending. Up until a year ago, we were known as Gulf States Paper Corporation but were sold to Rock-Tenn last June. This is so sad for him and me also. We have worked together at the same place for these 40 years, ride to work together every day and eat lunch together everyday. It is going to be so difficult and different to come to work without him.
He started out as a Civil Engineer and has worked his way to Vice President and General Manager - it has been his life - so dedicated to the people that work here.

We have an appointment at UAB with our oncologist on Thursday, June 8th but I believe he will agree that Sam is not able to take anymore treatments. He has to be able to eat and build some strength for us to even consider anything else.

My all day and all night prayers are for all of you.

Dear Johnsons-

Hoping Sam is feeling better soon, and he can resume some treatment.

I was contacted about a new clinical trial. I'll post some news about it on my blog.

Thinking of you,
Caroline Stoufer
