Re: Has anyone heard from Sheila?
Shelia, You have far too much on your plate...talk about major over load. Good old Murphy's Law comes into play it seems far too much! My heart goes out to you...I sure hope things improve soon for you and your family. I sure wish we could all help you out in some way. But for now I will continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Sending you some much needed energy, & strength to carry on...and a really BIG hug. Miss you much!
Chelee
