I just want to thank everyone who has helped anyone and everyone who needed just a smile, a pair of shoes or the soles glued back on.

Beautiful things have been given to me to pass on to those who needed something.

The quality and volume of meals prepared, the generous donations to the food bank and so many other acts of caring and giving is all I ever wanted for Christmas.

So thank you all for the greatest gift and wish come true.

May all your needs be met in the upcoming year.

P.S. A few need propane to keep warm.
