Hi Shirley,

I'm Abby, Malcolm's assistant. I just wanted to let you know that Malcolm is my hero. You see, I have [my own health struggle]. Seeing what Malcolm has gone through, has given me that strength to fight it with more determination. He has set that example of not letting my illness get the best of me. I have the utmost respect for his strength and will continue to pray for his recovery.

Shirley, please let him know that he is my HERO. If there is anything you or Malcolm need, let me know.

Abby A. Arenas
