Saturday's benefit was a huge success! It was wonderful to see so many people coming out to support me and my family. I was thrilled to be able to attend for some of the time! Over $7000 was raised. God bless you all!!!!

Thank you so much to everyone who made donations, who bought my book, and who came to support us. If any of you have pictures you would like to e-mail me, I would love to post them. These are some of the pictures my dad took that day.




I want to say a very special thank you to Ruth and Amy for planning and putting together such an awesome event! I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends.

I would also like to thank:

Uncle Tom & Aunt Debbie Weatherell (Mickey's) for the wonderful Pork BBQ dinners!

Aunt Judy Bell for her help in coordinating donations and baskets.

Jon and Catie Farleo for coordinating the 50/50 Raffle.

Keith Miller for donating all of the beautiful flower baskets and flats.

Sysco (and especially Rob) for donating food for the event.

Rick, Angie, and Grace Emley for their terrific music (you guys rocked!)

Katie Duggan and the Olean Irish Dancers for their wonderful performance!

Josh, for driving all the way from Penn Yan to DJ.


Thank you, also, to all of the people who donated their time to help with selling raffle tickets, working the food table, and helping in the kitchen!


Sunday was a day of much needed rest! We celebrated Father's Day with Scott and my dad and enjoyed a special family dinner with my mother-in-law, Gail, and Leslie, Jeff, Lydia, and Simon Szymanski (Scott's sister and her family).

Happy belated Father's Day to all of you Dads! You are wonderful, special, and loved dearly!

All my love! Nancy
