Thanks for the Laughs!

Super sweet Good Times stories!!! You girls made this decision really hard! I am really not an idecisive gal, but this was a hard call! I love Sara's gift from her grandmother...something to see on her shelf everyday...and that note found in the Bible almost made me cry. I love Sarah's memories from the kitchen with her grandmother...I definitely have many of those myself. And, thanks to Ginger for her sweet memories of Cissy's story...it's always good to hear that our friends & family members have not been forgotten! But, I really laughed out loud when I read about Jennifer's PawPaw...he sounds like a wonderful father figure...even with his pants falling around his ankles :) I enjoyed going to Jennifer's blog to read more about her PawPaw & seeing her pictures with him.

So Jennifer, I'm making a $100 donation to Relay for Life in memory of your PawPaw. Please leave me a comment with his name! I'd also like to give a gift in memory of Sara & Sarah's grandmothers...so if you girls will leave me a comment with each of their names, I am going to purchase a luminaria to be lit in memory of each of them at the luminaria ceremony at this year's Relay.
I encourage all of you wherever you may be to participate in your local Relay for Life. It is a wonderful time to honor cancer survivors and also to remember those who have lost their battle. I know it would mean so much to the survivors and families...and you can't imagine what it will mean to you! Look here to find a Relay event in your community.

Tears just filled my eyes. It means so much just to know that you will be making a $100 donation in memory of my PawPaw and will be able to help someone else in some way! Thanks so much for doing this! I know PawPaw is smiling right now :)

Joy you are so sweet!

I too loved Jennifer's story. Sara's story was very touching also.

My grandmother's name was Dorothy Leaming.

Hopefully the day will be here soon when we will no longer have to worry about cancer!

Thanks so much! I thought this was neat to do this. Now I need to go back and read the other stories! My grandmother's name is Virginia King Stroud.
