Thank you, Jenny. You truly do have such a wonderful team, and you personally do such a stellar job.

You helped us to feel that our value as human beings was not tarnished, even though our bottom line hit a low we both never dreamed imaginable.
What you do for people is such a gift. I hope you realize how special you and your team are to the people who are walking this very painful path.
Keep up the great work!
