After incidents that I've been through. I cannot express my gratitude enough for what everyone has done for me". Mrs. Lucille Vogeler - It's very difficult for my husband at this time to say anything. Again, he should be alone, and should be left alone, but you know, he feels so grateful, he wants to see you. He cant do anything about it. He cant speak now about anything. He cant answer questions. He just wants you all to know how grateful he is, to you all. Because he has a lot to thank you for and so have I.
