Merry Christmas

[Hank]

Just a family photo to accompany my Christmas greeting to all of you.

Thank you for helping me to realize the dream of helping others through their time of need.

May we all remember that the true meaning of Christmas is a celebration of the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. Not a giftfest of worldly measure.

Merry Christmas My Friends

Merry Christmas, Hank and family. This site is the best and has helped many more people than we will probably ever know.

Do you know how many hits you have had for the site?

What a beautiful picture!!

What a beautiful picture!!

But Hank... really now... you could have put down the whip long enough to take a picture.

Have a Merry Christmas with your family. They'll be grown up and gone before you know it. It'll be my first Christmas with out Eric, unless we go to CA.

that's not Hank's whip - that's the leash Michelle uses to keep Hank in line.

Merry Christmas to many (I'm still hoping to get a pic of my house out there with Billy's stuff); Happy Hannukah to others. Happy New Year to all.

It is a great picture. I second what Rain had to say, enjoy your family before they are grown and gone. First Christmases without kids are hard. I hope your holiday season is a wonderful one!!!!!

Hank,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family. Thank you for starting this site. It has been a wonderful resource for those of us who have undergone valve surgery or who are still in the waiting room.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!!!

Hello Hank,

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Thanks again for the vision of creating this wonderful site that has and continues to help so many.

I still smile when I think of seeing your posts back when you were facing surgery, and posted on the Cleveland Clinic site. You were looking for help just like the rest of us. Thanks for VR.com Hank! (Bet you wish it was around back then)

May you and the family have a happy and safe holiday season!

Rob

Hank,

I am wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. I can't thank you enough for creating this site. I am having my surgery in January and I cannot imagine what my state of mind would be right now if not for this site. You have truly made a difference in people's lives and for that I know that you will be richly blessed.

Peace on Earth...

Hank, Michelle and all my friends out there.. May you have health, peace and joy this holiday season.

And Hank -- It would be impossible for me to thank you enough for having the vision, tenacity and foresight to create this website for all of us. I know you have touched many lives..

You certainly touched mine in Oct of 1999 when I went online with questions and you steered me toward your very primitive e-mail list which eventually became valvereplacement.com. It's a privilege to know you!

Joy and blessings to all...

Hank and Michelle,

Merry Christmas to you and your family! You have made a difference in my life too with this wonderful site. It has added a measure of richness to what has been a most interesting and at times difficult year. I am feeling very blessed.

What do you think about going to Switzerland (or wherever the conference is next year) .....like Al did this year?

 

[LUVMyBirman]

Switzerland Betty? Sure way to get my husband there
