Thank you Deany Thomas Cowgill! That is very sweet! I really appreciate your kindness! My daughter lives with us. She goes to nursing school at ASU Mt. Home. Her husband is in the Army. Has been in since '06. They also have a daughter that's just turned 11 months. They are watching her carefully as well. I also have a sister that I think you know Dee Anne Williams-Middleton. She has worked for years at CHDC. She loves her job and they love her. I met some of them and they are like family to her. She got me and Jade Kostecky Lowrie both necklaces for Christmas with the puzzle piece. I love mine! : ))
RIP Deany Thomas Cowgill

They just seem a little out of tune with communicating with others. These kids have so much potential and deserve every opportunity to learn and grow into healthy, happy adults. Such a worthy cause!

I like everyone have hurdles in life but I am here to say that other people matter too and they deserve respect and dignity and help. Lets raise...
