Wishing Well

Welcome Back Kathy!

Return of the Smile

I would like to say a big thank you to all of the participants and friends at the Connie Hudson Senior Center. Over the past six months I was diagnosed with a non-malignant brain tumor. It was growing. So through much resources it was determined for me to go through radiation treatment. I have gone through the process and now it is going to be a slow process of healing and getting my balance back. I couldn't have made it without the prayers, support, cards and words of encouragement that was sent to me. I just want to thank everyone and express what wonderful people you are.

Much Love and Thanks,

Kathy Sullivan
