To all the people I have seen and talked to all around Ward 8 who have asked me to run, and at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church for all the many prayers from everybody and to all who helped me and Carol in my medical time of need in the past four years: I would be honored to have your vote on Nov. 5.

I will be honest and always tell the truth. After fighting men’s breast cancer and two gas bubble eye surgeries, and going to Boston over 10 times, I am a lot better now because of all the great people at IHM, Concord Hospital, Dana Farber and Massachusetts Eye and Ear.

As I sit here thinking about what to write in the 24/7 quiet, beautiful chapel at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, I guess the answer is to say the Our Father Lord’s Prayer, a rosary bead of Hail Marys and the Glory Be to the Father. Now we can let God do the rest. Thank you. God Bless America.
