Guest guest Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 It's good to hear from you again, Tawny, but I am so sorry that things have been so rough on your medically. I will keep your little granddaughter and yourself in my prayers, as always, and remember to take care of yourself too along with everyone else - Kathe in CA --- tdianaok <tdianaok@...> wrote: > It's been so long since I have posted.
