Dear Michael,
Sorry that it has taken so long for me to even send a message. The Egyptian Lady, Jerry, was a very important person in my family's and my life. She married my parents before I was born, and then my husband and I back in 2006. I believe that thanks to her that we are still together today when all my friends who also married in high school are not together any longer.
We wanted her to be there when we renewed our vows, but I know that she'll still be there in spirit. I hope that things are getting better for you and your family. I do have a few questions for you about the Egyptian Lady and some of her teachings. If you could find me on facebook, Pandora Haven, I would greatly appreciate it.
My mother, Linda Gonzalez-Johnston, sends her blessings as well. We love you all and wish you the best.
