Re: A few words from the (not) heartless

It is wonderful to see the support we all have for one another, either in posting, or in silence.

I do have to disagree with one statement----
Chrissy, you are NOT our worst nightmare!!

“Encourage, lift and strengthen one another. For the positive energy spread to one will be felt by us all. For we are connected, one and all.”
Deborah Day
