Kelly,

Thank you so much for always taking the time to post such heartwarming comments. I especially appreciate your insight, from the prospective of a survivor. It lets me see that I can be there, too.

I hope you are continuing to do well and are healthy.

Thank you for making a difference in my life.

Hey Kelly,

Thank you so much for sharing your story with your Kool Aid experience. You’re a kick ass fighter…just like me. Thank you for the sympathy and the inspiration. I so appreciate knowing such warriors have got my back

Keep up the fight. I’m with you, too.

Jill

Kelly,

Thanks so much for your note to Sarah. She is a strong little girl. She loved getting a response and I think you hit some points that she is thinking about but has not let us know about.

We will keep you in our thougths and prayers. Thanks again fo the nice note to Sarah. Mark
