| | With all that love she'll receive, she will do even better without a doubt!
I'm glad you posted this Joyce. It's only a little thing to send a card but it will certainly make a difference in Anna's life. |

When you address your Christmas cards this year, would you address an extra one and mail it to her? you can tell her that Joyce asked you to do it. she has nothing to look forward to and it breaks my heart. she lives about 7 hours from me.
Her name and address: Anna Farley 1017 George Washington Hwy Chesapeake VA 23323
May God richly bless you for doing me this one favor.

| | Joyce - Picked up a small gift and card. Attempted to print a shipping label, but the post office stated "invalid address." Is the address correct or is there a room number needed? Thank, Larry Quote:

| | | In case Joyce doesn't see that for a bit, there seems a little variation in the address if you websearch it, as far as I can see it might be that it's North or N Chesapeake. Others say "1017 N". Hopefully one of those gives you a correct destination.

| | | Plugging the address into Google Maps shows that it probably needs an "N" or an "S" after "1017 George Washington Hwy", as part of the street name.

| | | There'll be one from Missouri,too! I know that she can recover,my brother had a massive stroke in 97' and had intensive therapy and ,you could say,he made a complete recovery. Some people could never even tell he'd had a stroke. He works at the Missouri history Museum as a tour guide,he volunteers at planting trees,he plays a violin and mandolin,self taught,since the stroke,and now he's going to learn the psalter,another instrument that uses a bow.It's miraculous! Anyway, Yes, I will send her one,also! Can't wait to send her one!
