I can"t go visit her because she lives to far away, but I can snd her cards to let her know I am thinking of her. At this point she doesn't have many years left on earth and I know I need to get know all things about her I can.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05741557882293511888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993158030450218189.post-27070554232332063232008-02-12T06:44:00.000-07:002008-02-12T06:44:00.000-07:00Great message for me--thank you.
