[tri-wings] Re: March of Dimes Update

Dear Hope,
How wonderful that you did this in honor of Laura. We
also participated in March of Dimes on Madelyn's 4
month Heaven Birthday. It was a wonderful way to
celebrate her life. We did not raise near as much as
you, though. We raised $1,505 from selling "baby
booties" for 25 cents each and passing around an
envelope for teacher donations. Way to go!!
Hugs! Christina Knight (Mommy to Madelyn Marie)
