I've been waiting for the final total from the benefit in Stillwater before sending out this thank you. You (everyone who participated) raised over $2500! What this means to us, I can't even begin to convey. I felt overwhelmed that Saturday when Steph was telling me who came and about all the people who sent their thoughts our way. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. My mom would have been so pleased and proud.
Also, I want to recognize the students that my mom worked with In Upward Bound who came and shared their thoughts. My mom loved working with all of you and hoped that each of you would achieve your dreams.
And lastly, thank you to my "bestest" friend, Stephanie, her family, the Durhams and Katie Musset for putting it all together and working their asses off on a hot Oklahoma morning! It is inspriring to see what people can do when they come together to help others.
Thanks!

I, too, would like to thank all the people of Stillwater who so generously gave of their time and belongings to make the benefit such a success. I was particularly moved when I learned that some of my sister's students came to the event. Please know that there is a huge hug in Michigan for each of you. Many thanks. Joan
