JOYS:
During Marge Lillie's last week, she and Jim received an envelope in their mail box. It was evident the sender wished to remain anonymous. Inside was a card that said "Dear Jim and Marge. Your beautiful smiles have often warmed me when I had no smile of my own. Please accept this little gift knowing you are not alone and you are loved." A cash gift was included.
To the anonymous one(s), many, many thanks.
Jim Lillie
