[Nfb-krafters-korner] I can't believe it!

[Sandra Gayer]

Hello Joyce,
You're in my prayers, look after yourself and I hope you have all the
support you need.

Maybe going out alone isn't a good idea but I don't see why you can't
go out at all, after everything has been realined and restored.

Warm wishes,
Sandra.
