Hello,

This is just and FYI, as many of you may remember Robin Dunn, she lived on
Riddle Rd. next door to me.  She attended some of the meetings early on and
helped out with the original block party's.  

I hope this finds all well,

Therese

Dear Family and Friends,

This has been a rough year for me and some of you, I regret that I have not
been in contact for quite some time. Jeff and I divorced on Dec. 11th 2008
and my Mom passed away after a 4 year battle with breast cancer on Dec.
17th.  Mom battled hard for so long but the disease took a sharp turn this
fall, and attacked her lungs. She went downhill very quickly in November
even after a week long visit to the Cancer Center in Chicago. She became
unable to breath and it was terrible to see how she suffered so much.  We
can all be assured that she is in a much better place and will no longer
have to suffer the effects of this disease and all the other bad things that
come with cancer and endless chemo treatments.  

I have attached the obituary that Dan wrote after Mom's passing.  At Mom's
request, she was cremated within a few days of her passing but Dan has been
working so diligently on preparing something special for two memorial
services... one in Albuquerque and one in Dayton.  The one in Albuquerque is
Sunday, Jan. 25th from 2-5pm (4pm - 7pm EST) and can be viewed online at
www.danielsfuneral.com.  The service in Dayton will be on Sunday, Feb.1st
from 2pm - 5pm at The Normandy Methodist Church.  

Dan has started a started a memorial fund in Mom's name and is pairing up
with the designer of the necklace that he gave her at Christmas, a couple
days before she passed away. The shape of the necklace is like a tear drop
that symbolized the suffering she had to go through with cancer.  The CZ in
the middle symbolizes the "bright light" of life that Dan saw in her.  He
would like anyone who wants to send flowers, to instead donate to the
memorial fund.  The checks can be written out to either Daniel L Harman or
Cathy E. Harman and can be sent to the Daniels Funeral Home (they will
manage the fund for now).  I will get more information on the fund as time
goes on, since he is still working on getting all the details together.
