RE: Lynne, mail what you feel!!!

[Guest guest]

Tina,

Very true. I appreciated your email and glad that your kids are doing well at school and I hope their health too. Yes, we are like a family even though we are separated by a long distance.

Hugs to you too, Norma

Tina,

I like hearing about their progress since I do not have any grandchildren and I was one of those who mailed postcards for their school. If I did not respond, it does not mean that I do not care. Keep us informed.

Tina, pls don't feel we were ignoring your wonderful posts of your children.

I loved reading them, and I'm sorry I didn't respond to them. Just

because you didn't receive responses on those emails doesn't mean we don't

appreciate them. Pls keep them coming.

Tina, I agree with , I enjoy getting e-mail about your family especially the photos you send of them. As a matter of fact I have all the photos that you have sent to us in a special folder so I can look at them every now and then just as I do my own grandchildren. This site is just like family to me as I am sure it is to all of us so please keep telling us about your children`s achievements as I feel as though I personally know them all, and keep those photos coming,

-- Lynne, mail what you feel!!!
