Re: Sheri.. and let's spread awareness!

[Guest guest]

Hi Rainy,

And you are correct. And when they start looking at

me

or say anything I just nicely tell them until you have

all the facts and have lived my life than you can

judge. Life with an attorney. But they are the same

people that would pass capital punishment out to a

person without being at the weeks of a hearing or

trial. And yes being 45 in FL at times if you aren't

70 or older you just don't fit in.

Slowly we can education others, those that do fear the

unknown. Now to quote a smart women " where did all

that come from " .

Love and prayers today and always, Sheri
