I want to depart a (very) little bit from the customary seasons greetings for a moment. Over the past couple of weeks I've had reason to e-chat with Sharon Beardon a couple of times. We all have personal problems and issues, we all get busy with what I like to call the holiday crunch and can tend to brush maybe a little lightly over others' pains, frustrations and herculean efforts to make life better or easier for the rest of us. So I just want to say this in a public forum, loud, clear and from the heart: We really appreciate SOS en toto. Not only do you ladies help out in crunches, you manage a large part of our health care, keep and provide referral and educational services. You provide an incentive for people who would like to donate by making their donations count with the ole IRS and that in turn helps them. A win - win the preppies say. What I say is through your sacrifice and dedication, you make life better for a lot of us. THANK YOU! Brenda, The FurpeopleWeyr FurpeopleWeyr.com [Posted in FML 7287]
