Dear Danielle (and Debra),
Thank you for thinking of us on this special day. I am so grateful to your mother for founding this site, which has been such a wonderful source of support for me and so many other women, from all over the world. I will certainly play a favourite song tonight, maybe even sing (discordantly) along, and think of Christine.
Best wishes from Australia..... Pam
