Wanted this to be read at the conference....
But it didn't happen so I thought I would share it here:
MWSA Conference 2014…Greetings to all of you that are here tonight…I had planned all year to be right there with you. It would have been my fifth conference in a row. That all changed on August 5th when my husband, Wayne, suffered a stroke. I won’t go into just how my world has changed…you can follow our story on our Caring Bridge site. This weekend has been tough for me, as my heart is in Phoenix. I am missing being with my friends…those of you I only see once each year, but we pick up as if no time has passed.
