I appreciate all of your kind thoughts. I am thankful for the friendships I have here in this room and in the many other Hardwood Euchre rooms.

My mother lived a long and mostly healthful life. I will miss her very much but I will always remember her wonderful spirit and zest for life.

I especially thank Gaisie for starting up the group card. What a wonderful friend you are! Keep punching partner! HUGS!!

And Jessie, your warm thoughts and support came to me at a much needed time. HUGS TO YOU ALSO!

Gaisie also spoke to me of many others who have asked about me in the past week. I thank everyone for their concern.
