Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 1,627 | Wanted to let everyone on the board know that to date my girls have raised over $17,000 for the minnies miracle fund. Many of you on this site donated and please know that I read every letter and card and am in the process of mailing out thank you's. I just wanted to do it myself, personally, so needed some time to heal.
Again, thank you to all of you that helped us in our time of need.....hopefully I can return the favor someday.
Much love,
Minnie
