I sent a card and I am hopeful Niilo received it and knows that we are thinking of him. Niilo and his enthusiasm have helped me to continue on and fight the good fight. He inspires me and has from the first moment I met him back in 2006. The articles he has sent to me, the conversations, and the inspiring words in his letters are my treasures. The picture with him and a group of supporters is one of my favorite photo’s taken during this wild ride of campaigning. He is in my heart as I know he must be for so many. I feel blessed to know him and I look forward to getting to know the rest of the family.
With love and prayers,
Diane
