Hey Everyone:

Today is our Relay here in Woodbridge, NJ it will be held at my kids' school (Colonia High School). As I walk the Survivor's Lap, I will be saying all your names and offering a prayer that God keeps us in his grace. When I light my luminaire it will be dedicated to all my sisters and brothers in pink who have so valiantly fought the battle. I hope not to get to tear jerky as this will be my second relay as a survivor. Love you all, Lili

    Thank you sweet Lili~ I know you will do yourself and all of us proud....and one day, cancer will go the way of Polio! We will talk about "remember when there was cancer", and there will be old movies about cancer, which the kids will be bored to tears about as it means NOTHING in their lives.

    Chant and cry...and if you don't mind, while walking the Survivor's Lap, please give a YAHOOOO (out loud even! ) for Mimi...in case she doesn't ever go to a Relay, she needs to be cheered!

    Hugs,
    Claudia

    Lil Lili Tears! :)
    Lili, you enjoy your Relay for Life! And, thank you for walking for us

    and for lighting the luminary. This was my first year and it was very emotional. I almost

    didn't go, but, had to, and, I am sooooooooooooo glad that I did. I had lil tears too, as a

    lot of the people did, actually more of the non survivors were crying. So, if you have Lil

    Lili Tears....be proud of them! You are a survivor LILI! Love you, Jeanne
