“In the blink of an eye, our whole world was turned upside down. A strong reminder that people who love each other should live each and every day like it is their last and that everyday should be Christmas! One thing that has not changed, is the friendships we have made along our life’s journey,” says Raymond Hemenway, Jeanelle’s husband. “Our friendships have always been held dear to our hearts and we know that our friends felt the same because of all of your prayers, concerns and generous gifts from your heart. Jeanelle and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, kindness and support. God Bless you and thank you for your friendships.”
