Just thought I would let everyone know that while at a State show and hunt in Newport TN Saturday night we got a huge and wonderful suprise.

As we were waiting for the show we saw a familar truck pull in.

What a joy and blessing it was to see Don and Vickie Hill climb from their truck. Don brought Dalton to show and Vickie was just all smiles to be at a show and with some friends.

Just wanted to let everyone know that She looks "REALLY GOOD" and is in great spirits. She has finished with her Chemo and will start radiation soon. Don told us he went back to work last Tuesday for the first time in 5 months. They have been really over whelmed by all the love, support and prayers that have went up for the coondog world. Please just keep remembering them in your prayers the fight is not over yet.

I was so full and blessed when we left on our way back home to NC. Well worth the trip just to see them.

That is great news to hear. We really missed seeing them at Autumn Oaks.

Vicki is still in our thoughts and prayers.

Hope they had a wonderful time. Nothing helps us get well more than the things and people we love. The Hills remain in our prayers, Heather and the William Family
