Weell, folks, if that don't perk y'all up! I agree it has been tough lately. Miss Vicki, you have been through what any three of us have and I must admit, you are an inspiration to me.
We must all collectively shed our tears thinking of our "family" right now. Remember, this is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. Be thankful for every day we are blessed to be in this world.

I remember the last week of my mother's life and how many tears I shed. I tried so hard to conceal them but as the end kept drawing nearer, she caught me often. She smiled up at me and said please don't cry for me. Be happy at every day of my life and especially every moment we shared. Today, I want to tell each and every one of you that I am HAPPY, yes laugh , at every day I have been blessed with such a great "family". Y'all are certainly part of my family and will always be.

Sieze the day and MAKE THE MEMORIES!

YBIC,
