Letters of Love

Just sitting here at my computer thinking of how great it feels to love people, and to be able to bless and serve others, and I wanted to thank you, Barb for starting United For Change; and for shepherding it in the direction it is going. What a labor of love. It truly enriches my life, and I know that it is laying a firm foundation of unselfish service in Jessie's life as well. I think we get more out of it (Victory Place dinners) than the Vets do. Thank you, Beautiful Lady. You're the best.
