A few words from my customer - I am so incredibly TOUCHED that I helped make a difference - this is what life is about:

'They are Betty's. Betty is my mom's very very very best friend. Even though she was not a blood relative to me she was the only person I really considered family. 22 months ago she was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. She fought so hard and lost her battle. My mom is lost without her because it was not only her best friend but really her only friend. She doesn't have her to talk to and doesn't really have anyone that understands her. My mom was also diagnosed with stage 3 duodenal cancer and my mom survived which I am very grateful!!!! I felt by giving my mom a piece of Betty that she can always take with her she won't feel so alone and will continue to fight to stay alive for me. I am so excited to present this present to her!!!!! I am grateful for having met you!!!!!!!

Some new focals - OMG, I love them!
