Dear Maryann,

Thanks so much for posting this - you were one of the first people to respond to me when I joined so I always felt a special conneciton to you. I would panic when we didn't hear from you for awhile. I know these have been rough years and I hope and pray for easier times ahead for a very long, long, long time! You have been an inspiration to me and I thank you for all you have contributed to our her2 family!

Keep going! Love to you! Donna
