P.O.D.
Many of you remember our shipmate Dennis Carroll from back in the day. Engineering Logroom Yeoman, RC Division Supply Petty Officer extraordinaire, if you needed a part or tool that couldn't be had for love or money, Dennis was the go-to guy. He would apply his near-magical comshaw skills, and, just that like, the needed item would appear out of nowhere, much to the chagrin, I'm sure, of whatever boat or tender happened to be on the other end of that particular transaction.
Now, he could use some support from us. He wouldn't ask, so I'm asking for him.
Currently he is sitting in a hospital room in Kansas City, MO, if I'm not mistaken, at the bedside of his youngest, 23 year old Ryleigh, who has suffered sudden and complete liver failure, and now faces the struggle to stay alive while awaiting a transplant.
So, your prayers, positive thoughts, a few words of encouragement by FB, text, or email: I know they would all be appreciated.
My thought was that you are the kind of shipmates that would want to know.
More info about Dennis' daughter Ryleigh, and her situation can be found on her GoFundMe page:  Rally for Ryleigh: Fighting Liver Failure.
