"I am a former Director with Blue Valley Community Action Partnership in Fairbury. The number of times you shared your humor and joy with the Blue Valley group has never left me. Since leaving Blue Valley I was diagnosed with leukemia in June of 2010. There have been times since my diagnosis that your words have resonated in my thoughts ... the joy of life, the meaning of life, and the joy of laughter, which has helped to sustain me. I do not think it myself looking through rose colored glasses, I think my ability to sustain is the power of humor, laughter, and prayer. For this, T Marni, I thank you!!!" ~ Loree
