Ms Pac Man on this week's Friday Funnies!

If you've listened in to Grace Talk Soup in the last few weeks, you'll know that my co host, editor and dear friend, Carla Ives, is going through a tough time right now.  Her husband was diagnosed with cancer and it's already been a long haul for her family.  Ray, just went in for a proceedure that will tell them how far the cancer has spread and then they will be deciding on a treatment.
