Hi Lori,

Welcome to the board! Thanks for sharing your story with us. How touching and very inspiring! I'm glad that you met Gilles and personally witnessed how kind and humble he is. Isn't he one of a kind? A celebrity like him is very rare. You can't help but love him.

I enjoyed reading your story and you are such a great writer. And I know you are a very strong woman.
I see you're from Michigan. That state is very dear to me. Most of my family and relatives live there.


Regards,
Manette

Thanks so much Manette! I am new to the forum -- wish I would have joined long, long ago! But, I feel God brought me here at exactly the right time! I am SO BLESSED to have met Gilles and all of the wonderful women on this forum!

I see you have been with them a very long time, too! Have you met Gilles too?

I live in Davison, near Flint. Where is your family from? Did you grow up here?

So nice to meet you! So, so happy to be part of this wonderful group -- to honor such an amazing human being! Look forward to getting to know you better!
