[Julie Billingsley]

Thank you Traci for posting this! I can seriously say that I jumped at contributing to this great cause. My first thought when I heard of Laurie's loss was how devistated that I would be if my husband died. I hope the sales of this kit will ease the financial stress that must be upon her now.
