Patti,
Do you know what happened with Mark? I knew him well. It is very sad.
Damian, Taylor and I gave the things we raised, mainly clothes as winter
does not visit Las Vegas, to a homeless shelter for Women and Children named
The Shade Tree. I also now volunteer there with meals and children. It is
very sad and is all done in Brett's name. I try to encourage the women that
their situations are only temporary and they need to believe in themselves
because life can be cruel and short. Talk to you soon.

Heather
