My Dear Auntie Lil,
I am aware of most of your problems and have the highest respect for your
courage and loving heart. I hope that you are taking as much care of
Lillian as you are of all the rest of us on mol-cancer. You ARE the
backbone of this group and the one that has brought not only the message
of hope but an intelligent organization to much of the information needed
to take this journey. You are indeed God's gift to us all and I for one
hold you close in my heart and prayers. If I havn't said it before ...
THANK YOU for being the person you are and for touching so many of us in
so many ways. Not a day goes by that we don't lean on you for strength
and direction. I love you.
God BLess
