            As lifetime friends of Mark and Lisa Cheatham we have volunteered to create a website that will allow family, friends, and acquaintances of Mark and Lisa to stay updated with accurate information about the status of Lisa’s current fight against breast cancer.   As teachers within our community, Mark and Lisa have established many relationships with a very broad spectrum of people.   Because of this, their family has been inundated with calls and visits from well-wishers who want to show them support and encouragement during this trying time. 

Mark and Lisa are overwhelmed by the response that they have received.  The love and caring which have been expressed in the many calls and cards over the past week has been incredible.   The many prayers offered for them is comforting and uplifting for them.  They are touched and appreciative of all of these efforts on Lisa’s behalf and would never tell anyone not to call or come over to visit.  They understand that people want to know what is happening and want to express their love and support.   However, in the weeks that follow, Lisa will be undergoing surgery and chemotherapy.   This will be tiring and it will be difficult to keep people informed individually of what is happening.   Lisa may not have the energy to spend lots of time on the phone or to entertain visitors often.   However, Mark and Lisa DO want to hear from you and do want you to know how Lisa is doing.  They realize that your love and support are going to be very important in Lisa’s recovery.  It is our hope that this website will allow you to keep up to date on Lisa’s status.   It will also give you a chance to communicate messages of support to Mark and Lisa by signing the guest book.  Try to keep it short and sweet so that they will be able to read them all as they find time.
