From Jeannie Dake, Marvin's wife-

To All Our Taplin Family and Friends

I wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU! My family and I appreciate all the emails, cards, thoughts and prayers, love and support sent our way. I cannot tell you how much it means to us. Marvin is awake and somewhat coherent. He is going to be transferred to Borgess pipp in Plainwell (not sure of exact date)to help with getting him off the respirator And then to rehabilitation center (hopefully Mary Free Bed) for physical therapy He is improving little by little I will continue to give updates Please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he is recovering. Again our family thanks you.
