First of all I want to than everyone of my hard core fans for their continued support. I appreciate the PMs pointing out some editing omissions on my part. Editing is painful. I wish Holly was feeling better, and I really need her help. I think I will post the next to the last part later today, and the last part tomorrow or Sunday (which may be tomorrow for some of you). Concluding this on a weekend is better than dragging it into the beginning of next week.
In the next part Max Grave appears once again much to the displeasure of Angie. Let's just say that there is a tremendous learning experience for both of them. Matt's assignments will send him to much colder climes where he once again will show the stuff he is made of. Let's face it, Matt, Fred, and Angie are what are referred to as fast burners: people who rise to the top rather quickly and continue to stay in front. I guess the question is where are the three going to go from here? Then there is the question about Juliette.

Matt, Fred, and Angie

Sorry Portia
But as you and a few others know, I'm not only fighting cancer, but I've had a series of micro strokes the past 12 days, which has meant a few days in the hospital and 5 trips to the emergency room. I've been home 3 1/2 days now with no new problems and hoping it stays that way. But it has meant a delay in starting a new last ditch 3rd round of chemotherapy.
But I have to admit that the main reason I'm Behind on editing is just a bit of despondency and lack of wanting to do any editing.

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Treasure...
...even in the midst of the biggest challenge anyone can face you continue to think of others. I am so in awe of you, and we've never met. Your generosity is but one aspect of the woman of character you are. I'm crying over worry, but I'm also praying. You are a treasure!
Love, Andrea Lena
Holly, I feel words are so inadequate to express our feelings
You have been such a treasure to us grammar disadvantaged writers here.
I have held back on commenting on your health as it is your story to tell.
But that it is fully out now... Fight the good fight. The people who survive cancer are not the ones who give up, nor the stoic type.
Studies show the ones with the best survival rate are the people ANGRY about their fate and who push hard against it. The ones who complain about pains and other things out of the ordinary. Your doctor can't help you if they don't know what is wrong. Those who don't accept their doctors' prognosis but demand a second/third opinion and... IE those who fight are most likely to win.
Fight girl. Unleash your inner bitch and fight!

John is correct
so please follow his advice. Cancer is not easy to beat, but it can be done. My sister lived for over 25 years after she was diagnosed with cancer, and it was not cancer that finally took her life. I am very proud of the example she and her husband set for the rest of their families. You and your families attitude about your illness will determine how cancer affects you.
May God Bless You.
Don't let someone else talk you out of your dreams. How can we have dreams come true, if we have no dreams?
