Thanks for the wonderful dinner, it was very tasty and greatly appreciated.

I want to take this time to also thank all of you ladies for your support of Shana and our family during this difficult time. A lot of the burden has fallen on Shana and every bit you guys help out makes a huge difference. It is kind of the silver lining in all of this knowing that Shana and John have such good and caring friends.
