Dearest Millie,

Just know that I am here for you. Email me personally if you wish. We haven't chatted in so long, but I have not forgotten any of you here on the board. I am here to help! No matter what. I have been in a bad place within myself and have been quite selfish, but I am coming out of my shell, finally! Please know that I care!

Love Karen Carter
