Vent all you want. It sounds to me like you have a right to. That was a brave

thing you did facing that panel, I could only hope to have a fraction of

you're courage in the same situation. I'll be praying for you.

It's all right that you cried. I would surely have cried, too! It's such an

emotional thing. It's your life, and that board should realize that. I'll say

a prayer for you. Hang in there!

What a nerve racking situation you went through today. I'm crying with you. When

I read your post the tears started falling. I really feel these guys must have

felt your sincerity.

If they didn't they must be made of steel. What courage it took for you and your

husband to face such an ordeal. My prayers are with you.

Love,

Genz

Good luck to you, it sounds like you gave it your best shot. Wow, I'm not

sure I could stand in front of 20 men and discuss the woes of my obesity.

You are a brave woman!
