    1. I’m glad it meant something, or more than something, to you Brenda. I remember when I first did it, being trained as a volunteer. Then to watch others go through it was enlightening. Thanks so much for commenting.

  4. Hi, Dr. Margaret

    Thanks for providing a list of resources that people can go to get helps and protection.

    Thanks for insight
