Dear Liz of Y: Just answered my door bell and the UPS man handed me a package.
How exciting this was, I never get a package. Guess what it was? It was the
Molers Pity Pot and someone had placed the name " Molers Only" on the top.!!!
LOL ! I was so happy to hear that you are doing so well dear Liz. Infact, when
you think back to the first time you e-mailed us, you sure came a long, long
way. Thank God for your inner strength Liz, never stop exercising that arm and
please keep us posted on how the radiation treatments are going for you. I am
truly very happy for you. Love, your friend, Lillian
