Gloria Ferris

I meant to promote this more today, but got sidetracked by the dental torture...I am not good when it comes to teeth.  In any event, Gloria and I share a propensity towards plaque and heart disease (but, hey, no cavities!).  

 Gloria is a real fighter and this event at Metrohealth is a tribute to her spirit.  I hope that she reports on the event here and if other folks can attend, please report here.  Metrohealth staff sometimes get a bad rap, but Gloria knows, and I know, that they DO work miracles. 
 

The fight never ends.  Gloria in Excelsis Deo!
