To the Franco and Kavalir families - Sometimes it is comforting to know that others are thinking of you and sharing some of your concerns. We are all on the same path of life - some move faster, some live on different streets. But it is in helping and sharing that we better understand our journey and through compassion, we find the Light. tommy michelbach
