I would like to thank all the businesses and individuals that donated to the silent auction for the benefit that was organized for me in June.

Also, I would like to thank the many people that organized and helped to make the benefit such a success — all the ladies that prepared the food, and the helpers that did whatever needed to be done. Without all the help by everyone, this could not have been such a success.

I would like to thank all the people who attended the benefit, and the individuals who felt it in their hearts to donate finances directly into the "medical expense fund" at the Whitefish Credit Union.

The generosity of everyone so far has been an amazing blessing to us. As of Aug. 4, there has been a 40 percent decrease in tumor size since treatment began in March — praise Jesus.

All your help is so appreciated. Again, many thanks to all of you.

Shyloh Cochran and family
