Good morning my saddened DU family,

As we digest the heartbreaking news about SCE, it reminds me how important it is for me to stay grateful during moments of difficulty in my life. the proverbial "There but for the grace of God go I".
As I treasured with immense gratitude every Sunday's gift from SCE, I also have the joy of knowing so many people who hold a similar special place in my heart and that I share the loss of such a wonderful contributor to the quality of my life with so many like minded people.
Please let us have the opportunities today to say thank you to the SCE's in each of our lives today, along with the opportunity to truly celebrate how they impact our lives.
Love, John

Your message is so true.
Each and every day we have people cross our paths and within our circles that spread love and kindness.
We need to remember those and embrace their friendship and love everyday.

A bright light in our life has gone out, but at least we all had the opportunity to bask in it, and to know a wonderful person. It was the first thing I did every Sunday morning because I knew he would get my day off with laughter. He is missed.
