Family Thank You’s

Mrs. Gracz – Thank you for coordinating such a wonderful program.  Our son was a patient at Children’s Hospital (he had a cleft lip repaired).  He received a quilt made by Mrs. Cummings.  My son’s grandma was a quilter so we know the love that goes into them.  Thank you again and all who participate in Project Linus.  Kent-Horton Family
