hello Old & new friends,
Just wanted to wish you all a Happy Easter. I don't know about the rest of you "Stratton Park". but i have a lot to be greatful for. Easter is the rising & new beginning. Maybe some of us starting starting something new.
just need to take a step back and realize, how lucky we all are. A very dear childhood friend, has a wife in I.C.U. after having major heart surgery. so while we are complaining about the price of gas, where we have to go for dinner this sunday and let's not forget the traffic! how about just being thankful, we have families and friends to go share Easter dinner with. Some of us will be thinking about our good buddy Todd Frenchman and his lovely wife Dina. Also for their 3 kids, Matthew, Ariel and Jacob who are taking turns, sitting w/ their dad, at their mom's bedside. Or many of our other friends, who have lost loved ones, in the last year. I always put out an extra place setting at my holiday meals. i do it for a good friend of my family's son. Joey is serving his 4th tour in Iraq. I save the place, for when he will return and have a holiday meal with us again. How many of you can name at least 1 person away from home this Easter? i also want to give a "shout out", to my friend Kenny Doyle. Who is always teasing me that i use only upper case letters in my emails. Hope this is o.k. by you? To everyone, no matter what religion, you may practice at your home. May you be blessed always, with loving family and friends. Marie-Elena
