Strength from friends
I would like to share with all my friends how much your precious words have meant to the whole family. But mere words can't express the strength we have received from everybody. I also want to share this haiku that was sent to us by Darrel Lindsey.

In Memory Of Shannon Martin

the old bookshelf--
I feel your glance
on every spine

Shannon is so pleased and so am I. Thanks so much, Gail

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
