Re: Sheila has earned her wings

Nancy, Thanks and glad you were able to go yesterday for the visitation and prayers. My apologies for not getting back to you earlier. Donna and I plan to be there this morning. I don't know that/if anyone else from HER2support can go (almost everyone being a very long distance from Morris/IL). But we can hopefully represent in small part how important she has been here and to so many others. Peace, Melanie
