Your beautiful mum loved everything about 'We are the Helpful' and we all wish she could have seen the concept come to fruition. I have always known that you inherited many wonderful qualities from your parents....sincere caring thought for others, humour, and last but not least, the ability to lift others and help them feel supported and loved. Congratulations, Love Judy
