      From nectar November 16

      Thinking of you today and hoping you'll find peace. It's always hardest to do what is best, when it takes all the strength you have to endure the pulling of your heart strings .It's nice to have others to admire and look up to in this life. You're one of those people, Jackie. ~Love and prayers~
