Benefit cancelled, and for a happy reason!

The benefit for Sherry Ladig's husband Don has been cancelled because their insurance company reversed earlier decisions and have paid Don's hospital bills in full. This was very unexpected but welcome news. Sherry thanks everyone for their interest and concern.
