Editor, Gazette-Journal:

I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to all who participated, donated and helped with the fundraiser on my behalf. I am having the greatest struggle of my life, but in the midst of this I am comforted by the generosity and love from the community.

Many donated that do not even know who I am and I truly appreciate each and every one that participated. Mathews County is a great place to live and work and I feel blessed to be a part of this community. I would love for you to continue praying for me and may God bless each of you.
