Nancy, it must have been wonderful to see everyone. I'm so glad your book signing went well. I so very much wanted to be there, but sadly my chronic back pain kept me away. But I was there in spirit.

Thanks for thinking of me Ellen and Sam. I will never forget that "book signing" day. It was like a new beginning for me.

Nancy,
I'm so proud of you. I could not put your book down until I read all of it. Mama and I read your poems to each other and discussed them. We enjoyed very much your poetry. The cover is beautiful, the poems are touching, and we celebrate your success. I'm glad you had a lot of folks to attend and thankful Mama and I could go, too. It was indeed a marvelous book signing by a marvelous poet.
