Heartfelt thank you!!

Thank you all for the wonderful card I received today. You have no idea how much that meant. This has been a very difficult week with the unexpected death of my father, but to know that so many wonderful people are out there keeping our family in their thoughts and prayers, has been a great comfort. All of you have truly become part of my extended family. Thank you.
