I ONLY, BY CHANCE, CAME ACROSS THERESA (MY FIRST BEST FRIEND) AND WAS EXCHANGING EMAILS, INCLUDING AN "EMAIL BIRTHDAY CARD" IN MAY. MY COMPUTER BROKE A SHORT TIME LATER AND IT WASN'T FIXED UNTIL LABOR DAY. I WAS WONDERING WHY SHE NEVER OPENED HER CARD... MY HEART IS BREAKING FOR HER, HER MOM AND CHILDREN. I HAVE LIT A CANDLE ,JUST NOW (AT HOME) AND SAID PRAYERS. KATHRYN JANKOWSKI**
