The individuals that make up this group are wise beyond my years, so I not only shared my stories with them, but enjoy hearing and learning from their life lessons. There is always a photo of me in mid-sentence and considering I am always talking I guess that makes sense. 
They had several questions regarding my title and the experiences I have been afforded. I have many wonderful memories to share thanks to the Mrs.Illinois family.
What a fun evening to hear their stories and oh my goodness, they were hilarious! As it turns out many of them knew my grandparents and could share memories with me. I know I appreciated not only the opportunity to speak to them, but I came away with an amazing gift of laughter and memories. They are an incredibly strong and courageous group of people facing life and it's trials together. They take each day as it comes lifting each other up when it's needed. They also make an amazing contribution to our community. This support group helps those in need of assistance with the treatment process financially and emotionally. They are active in the American Cancer Society Clay County Relay For Life and countless other ways throughout the year. Thank you for allowing me to share this evening with you, I was was truly blessed!
