"Thanks to my dear daughters, Julie and Evie, and to the love of my life, Ed, also my granddaughters, Sarah, Tarah, and Dani, for all your help, great meals, trips to the doctors, getting my meds, washing the dog, cleaning, or just a visit or phone call. The fudge was great Linda and Carl, the pumpkin roll was out of the word thanks Linda Baker, Charlotte the apple cake was great with my morning coffee, great chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting, I didn't want to share, thanks Kathy and Dave, Carol thanks for your gift, I enjoyed my daily calls from Barb and Joyce, Tina, Sharon, Tammy, and Shirlee, and I am sure I have forgotten someone. One more thanks is to God for letting me enjoy Alex, Jacob, and Matthew; they always made me feel better. A big wave to Becky, and if you know someone not feeling well, give them a call or a nice bowl of soup; it would make their day. I love you all; Remember me with a smile, for that is how I will think of you all; until we meet again, PEACE."
