keith we were very good friends with the krempaskys. my sister, i think went to school with dara and my mom and her mom were good friends. i met them on a cruise a few years ago. i just told a story about mrs krempasky. she sent me the most beautiful letter when my mom died. she still has the nativity set she bought from my dad's store and says every year til this day when she puts it out at Christmas she thinks of how nice my mom was. she loved that set when we were kids and she was looking at it from outside the store and my mom said what?????do u want it??? she said yes i cant afford it. my mom sad come in and she wrapped every piece in paper and packed it and gave it to her and said give me 50 cents or whatever and whenever u can. she still has that and never forgot my moms generosity and friendship... those were the days.

APRIL IS WAITING FOR RESULTS FROM HER CAT SCAN TO SEE IF SHE NEEDS
AN OPERATION. NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM SO NERVOUS ABOUT GOING
AWAY WITH ALL THIS GOING ON. I HAVE NO CONTROL IT IS UP
TO THE BIG GUY UP THERE. JUST KEEP PRAYING
NOW IT IS RAINING SO BAD AND JONATHAN HAS TO DRIVE DOWN THERE.
HE STAYED ALL DAY AND HELPED THE NURSES MOVE HER
AND HE FED HER. HER POOR AD CANT GET OUT OF WORK AND HE IS SO UPSET. HER MOM HAS BEEN SLEEPING THERE. JONATHAN WOULD STAY
U HAVE TO BE THE SAME SEX IN ORDER TO SLEEP IN THE ROOM SO ONLY
HER MOM CAN STAY, SHE IS HAVING A HARD TIME SLEEPING
SHE IS AFRAID TO SLEEP SO FRIGHTENED AFTER THIS ENTIRE EXPERIENCE.

JUST KEEP PRAYING FOR THEM THAT POOR PATRICK MY GOD HE WAS LIKE A HERO GOING IN TO TRY TO SAVE SOMEONE THAT WAS NOT EVEN IN THE HOUSE.
