They were there for me through all of my family's times of trouble, they all pulled together and covered for me when my dad was so sick and gave me the opportunity to be with him when he and I needed it the most. So Thank You to Bonnie Tom, Tracy Biery, Jill Brandon, Margaret Wilds, Vernon Kennedy, Darlene Aaron, Jackie Provost, Julie Little, Melody Fuller, Carol Nelson, Val Grout and Susie Mooney. We would also like to thank the Drummers (Bobby Mercier, Richard Sohappy and Dustin Harmon) for the songs they shared with us. Thank You Marce Norwest for getting the "Color Guard" and the "VFW" to help us, it made Dad's passing a little easier to deal with. And of coarse Angela Fasana! YOU ALL MADE US FEEL SO HONORED. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR LOVE AND KINDNESS.

Regrettably the Massage Therapy was not added, this was a mix up between ODS, our marketing consultant and myself. Please do not use massage therapy as it will not be covered by ODS. If anyone has used this benefit please call Valorie Sheker-Robertson at 1-800-442-0346 so that I may assist you in seeking payment. Only the massage therapy was affected. The Acupuncture, Naturopathic and Chiropractic are still active and have not been affected. I'm sorry for any inconveniences this may have cause you.
