Mary Grace… I just want you to know how proud I am of you. I am so impressed by your dedication and your kindness. I know that it must be an unbelievable amount of work and your family has been so supportive of you. I will check for some books for you this week and will talk to your mom about anything else I might be able to do to help out. Good luck!
