Smile Secret Santa, you are wonderful!

I was dumbfounded when I saw the amazing gift from my Secret Santa! I truly would never have expected such a thing, but then this is Designer Digitals, isn't it. A community of love.

Your generosity is so appreciated as were your touching words, recalling the oh too short life of our granddaughter Bekah. Her parents are really struggling at this emotional time of year so prayers for them are still sorely needed. I think it is going to be a long long time in healing and the ripples are affecting other family members unfortunately. Thank God Dick is a rock and a calming influence.

But again, thank you thank you. I may not know who you are but I know you are special, and I thank you for being you. I also will mark my calendar For SURE for the next sale! I can't wait!

gratefully yours...Maureen

Maureen, I am so glad you've been gifted! You deserve it, and thanks for the reminder to keep Bekah's family in our thoughts and prayers. This is such a hard time of year when you're grieving.

How heartwarming to know there is an angel amongst us who gave you a special gift, Maureen.

All of you in your family have lost something so dear and precious...all I can do is offer up prayers for all of you suffering so much from the loss of sweet Bekah.

Big hugs to our Secret Santa, you are the best
How wonderful Maureen, you sure deserved a little gesture of kindness after all you went through with Bekah's struggle!

How truly wonderful, Maureen! My thoughts and prayers continue to go out to your family for all the suffering you have gone through, and how hard it is, even though little Bekah is the brightest angel in heaven.
