I also miss all the good people that were once part of this net family. My health is not so good...one of my sister's in Georgia has just be diagnosed with terminal CA and at the present time I'm not able to travel. So I read the e-mails a couple of times a day-think good thoughts about everyone but hate to send out a sad E-mail like this one. But, I've never forgetten any of you.

Carol, I am delighted to see you post. If you want to vent or talk about your health or luck, this is as good a place as any to do that, we are interested in you. I send hugs, Elaine The great thing in this world is not so much where you stand, as in what direction you are moving. --Oliver Wendell Holmes Hello Carol On Sunday, June 19, 2011, you wrote > I also miss all the good people that were once part of this > net family. > My health is not so good...one of my sister's in Georgia has just be > diagnosed with terminal CA and at the present time I'm not able > to travel. > So I read the e-mails a couple of times a day-think good thoughts > about everyone but hate to send out a sad E-mail like this one. > But, I've never forgetten any of you. > Most Fondly, > Carol > NJ > On Sun, Jun 19, 2011 at 12:41 PM, CAROL KUNZ > <carol.r.kunz@gmail.com> wrote: >> I too miss the people who once were here, especially Tessi.
