A Note from Jill Whitney
Thank you to the LLCC Family for all the phone calls, texts, visits, food, flowers, and overall concern about my well-being following my recent surgery and two hospital admissions. It’s nice to know that so many people care so much! My holidays were very different this year but I am on the mend and doing much better. Thanks again.
