Gloria, we definitely understand how much you still miss Priscilla.  
Piggies never leave that special place in our hearts, do they?  She was 
so lucky to be part of your family.

How wonderful to hear how well Lisa is doing, especially after all she 
has been through.  Wonderful that she is more than six years old!  We're 
so happy, too, to hear of your new addition, Rachael.  Sounds like they 
are getting along very well.

Our best to all of you.

Cindy, Tumbleweed, and Friday
