I am a bit nauseous and loopy. And very Tired! I will be getting some new blood here in a few minutes. I am turning the floor over to Anita! She has something good to say —teresa

Anita:

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

O MY GOSH!!! Thank you, To everyone that helped us get this far. You are all INCREDIBLE people. I have never ever been so awe stricken at the love and generosity of our friends and their friends etc. Our family is a strong one, maybe not real attentive on a day to day basis. But when a crisis exists, we are strong. But this crisis was way bigger than anything we could handle alone, and there you all were.

There is a special group of people that I would especially like to thank. They work with Lisa. We will call them LH angels. You are an exceptional group, and I am so grateful to you. Lisa has driven up with a full Suburban on several occasions, and enough money to get them across Texas You are all strangers to our family, but our Lisa must be pretty special to all of you as well. You are great friends. Thank you again. Please add my name to the next corporate email.

My dear and close friends have been my ROCK!! Lora and Vickie are glued to me I think. They are aware of my every movement, and thought. I just sat a moment and thought of those two. WOW. I could not have gotten any of this accomplished without them. Thanks, I love you. So many other family and close friends,Dick~( my wonderful husband), Lisa- there for everything& Kim (my daughter-n-law), Pam (my sister) going dumpster diving with me at 2am lol, Mom & Pop, Georgana, Linda, Lou & Bob, Jimmy, Bob, Steve, Ed,Makenna, Katie, Kylie… etc etc… I love you. You are always there if I call, and emotional support comes on a daily basis.

There is a special lady that I met on the phone. I actually bought some bedroom furniture from her ad in the newspaper. The angel network is a really, really strong connection. Not only did she lower her price on the furniture so much that I could afford to give Teresa a glorious king sized wrought iron bed to heal in, she sent bags of clothes home to us as well as games and toys for the kids. (That was one of Joe’s list of pick ups last Sunday) Not only all that, her church group is sponsoring the family for Christmas…., right down to the tree. DS… God Bless You!!

To all and everyone, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. We got them across the United States. almost 3800 miles. We put gas in their tank, we fed them, and paid for their RV parking. We fixed Clyde when he broke (thanks mostly to Dan’s mom Inez) We found them a Van, went to Indiana to get it, found them a rental house…… cleaned it- furnished it-hung some pretty pictures on the wall, put toilet paper on the holder, salt & pepper in the cabinet- made 2 tubs of baked spaghetti ( my sweet granddaughter’s did that) opened the door when they completed the trek of a lifetime with Clyde, and held out our arms in love and support to bring them inside with us.

All of us… you included.

Trees~ we will all help to take care of you honey. Now just FIGHT and kick some butt……….

I love you Sis, Anita
