Since it is Lent, there is little rest as I try to maintain the online presence and the programs activities. I do this while being part time (ha!!). It is my youngest daughters’…

What a beautiful and loving tradition! Flowers speak to us in a special way and I received a beautiful bouquet from my daughter and her family – they are a reminder of their love. Blessings to you and your family.
