The love and support and kindness shown to my family during our tragic loss was unparalleled. You are good and thoughtful people.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> That said, I would like to mention that in the past year as we lost our home and contents, car, beloved bassets Hollyberry and Noah, Lilly, my granddaughters puppy, Xena the Warrior Mouser kitty, my husband has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, broken his hip and wrecked our Suburban, I have been reminded what is truly important. People who love us...not material things, and to not sweat the small stuff...and guess what? It's all small stuff. Think about it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Conley, Thelma Lou smells just like you...it must be the Illinois mud.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Snooters,</DIV>
<DIV>Maggie</DIV>
<DIV>Thelma Lou..."what do you mean, I need another bath?"</DIV>
<DIV>Huckleberry..."I'll just sit on the porch and watch"</DIV>
<DIV>Hollyberry, Noah, and Xena ATB</DIV></div><br>
