Thank You!
There is never enough time in our busy lives to express our gratitude for all of our blessings, so I am making time right now to thank the most wonderful friends and staff I could ever have. In the past eight months, I have had three surgeries, Jodi has had one, and Patty has had one. This has put a hitch in everyone's git along. Without a blink, all of the girls have stepped up and filled the void. This has taken a load of worry off me. So thank you to Jodi, Joan, Joni, Judy, Jean, Kathy, Melissa, Patty, Alana, Carol, Tracy, and Judah, and all of our wonderful customers who have pitched in. You will never know how much you all mean to me. Anne
