Your wonderful website
Dear Helen- Thank you so much for sending me this sketch of what has been happening around Thanksgiving and the sacrificing in your husband's family's tradition. I have always felt in my heart that if we eat together as brothers, we will understand each other although religions are different. The giving of beef to the neighbors is a beautiful tradition. God bless you and yours. Paula

Congratulations!
Hi Helen! Congratulations to both of you! You look amazing and I love your dress and your hairdo! So pretty! Wished I was there to join in the festivities. Well, I have to say that all the protocol you guys had to go through to get "hitched" in Turkey was quite an accomplishment. I would love to swing by and visit ya'll in Istanbul someday... Maybe we can get some of that yummy Turkish cake. haha. I wish you guys the best. Make sure to create a "Large Book" of wedding photos! :) KIT and Take care, Gigi

You look so beautiful, happy, and sweet
You look really happy in those pictures. The red tape story was really vivid; I felt as though I were right there next to you, document after document. Hahah!

Grandma's Legacy Continues
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting and talking with your Grandmother. Her accepting nature is obvious in the family that she raised. She was truly a remarkable person who had a unique and personal understanding of what Jesus' message to the world is really about. She lived it everyday of her life. What a legacy! Can I get an "Amen."

Sympathy to the whole family
It was my privilege to bring the Holy Eucharist when Kay could not get to church. She was always so appreciative and promised to remember me and my family in her prayers and I know this will continue. AG

You'll have a wonderful life together. Tom also proposed to me out of the blue on a walk, so I'm sending some of our good karma your way. Can't wait to congratulate you in person. Enjoy the rest of the trip.
