I think I met your mom about January 2007. I was new to the board and your mom and I noticed that we were both from Oregon. At that time, I was still kind of scared and your mom, like others gave me hope that things were not so dire. For a diversion at that time, I reveled in the Tiptoe conversations. Lolly and I were going to meet in Salem and take Tiptoe to lunch and then to meet the Governor. We had a lot of giggles planning the get together. We actually both got too busy and then decided there were many people on the Tiptoe list and that we would let Tiptoe fly over Oregon in route to Montanta. I, too, loved the beach picture and how happy your parents looked. Lolly's posts were always encouraging to everyone, and you knew that she had been around the block. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your sister and father. May Lolly's love embrace you from above.
