A Message to Our Community

Genny Nelson, Sisters Of The Roads’ Co-Founder, suffered a heart attack this week. Sisters’ community made this video get well card for her. Please keep Genny and her family in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you, from Sisters Of The Road

Update 8/27/10: Genny is doing much better and should be moved out of the ICU by today, according to her sister. She will stay in the area as she heals enough to travel, and then will fly home to Portland accompanied by her sister and brother-in-law. Monica has passed on all of the well-wishes - thank you for all of your care.

Update 8/24/10: Monica spoke with Genny’s sister today. Genny’s heart is still really weak from the heart attack she experienced last week while visiting family in Indiana but she is eating now and improving. The hopes are that they will all fly home to Portland next week. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers!
