A Few Hours Before Surgery

Rod and some of his family and friends gathered at Aunt Bea's in North Charleston for lunch (except Rod couldn't eat anything!) just before his surgery. Before that, he and I (sister Sherry) were doing some work on his newspapers.
In the picture on the left, Rod is shown with Mom. In the above picture, brother Shawn, sister-in-law Catherine and Mom listen as Rod talks to Rod Jr. (partially hidden.)
