Millie “how are you doing,been thinking about you lately, how you really helped me so much when I was growing up, you helped me do things I never thought I could do.I didn’t want to go to school,but you helped see the light and cared. I will never forget and just wanted you to know that so much and I love my job clients. Hope you are doing well.”
