The Rest Of The Story

[Ray Gottry]

John,

Prayers to and for you and your family.

I unfortunately am dealing with a similar situation with my wife, Andrea. What started as a persistent stomach ache turned out to be Stage 4 Colon Cancer. She has a blockage of her transverse colon and several tumors throughout her abdomen. It was discovered just before Thanksgiving and after a battery of tests she started treatment in January. Unfortunately the initial treatment didn't work and her tumors have grown. She is now in brutal chemotherapy. Surgery will be the last resort but can lead to other complications.

This as you can imagine is life changing. We had thought we would build a new race car and get back out there with you all but that plan is on hold for the foreseeable future.

We know as Christians that it is all in God's hands and we are trusting he will answer our prayers.

I will certainly add you to my long prayer list and keep you in my thoughts. Hopefully the next time we meet up at the track it will be with good news.

Take care and God bless.

Ray
