I love you Patti you are graceful, inspiring and priceless. In regards to the previous message, some people are targeting websites such as this asking for money, do not fall for it. Someone capitalized on my family's grief in February when my cousin passed away, took all of the e-mail addresses and sent them messages similar to the one above saying someone was murdered or killed and they needed money. STOP THE MADNESS AND SHOW SOME RESPECT YOU HOODLUM!!!
