May 20, 2009— Natalie Cole underwent kidney transplant surgery yesterday at Cedars- Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and is resting comfortably. The kidney came from a deceased organ donor through the regional organ procurement agency, One Legacy. Ms. Cole has been receiving kidney dialysis three times a week since September, often at hospital locations around the world as she continued her world tour in support of her current double Grammy winning CD, “Still Unforgettable.”
Ms. Cole’s physicians have advised her to postpone her summer tour dates as she recuperates for the next three to four months. Further information about the re-scheduled dates will be available shortly.

Hey Mickie, this is great news. I'm sorry that Carol will not be here to share the blessing. She has been the glue that has held the family together. For Carol, I hope and pray that Natalie would keep her promise to the Lord. When I last wrote, I told you that I asked her a question, "Are you going to do a gospel CD soon? and when she didn't respond, I had to yell the next two times. Then in my loudest voice I said," Natalie, the Lord wants a gospel CD from you". That's when she looked me straight in the eye and answered," Maybe maybe". That was 5 years ago. The Lord's work has been in your heart for a long time. Nat there is no better time than NOW. I pray for a successful recovery, for the Lord to strenghten your family during all of this, and that HE continues to camp his best ANGELS around you. I love you with the love of the Lord.

Hello Tallendra,
Yes, I'm also keeping Natalie in my thoughts at this time wishing her a quick recovery so she can get back out doing what she loves.
Take care,
Mickie
