Why I'm Thankful Today . . .

"The more I hear about the struggles of others, the more grateful I am for what I have." Gary DeRemer
"I'm thankful for my family. And I'm thankful that our needs are met. We are so blessed." Roxanne Dahl
"I'm thankful for my family, God and my job." Dena Ashby
"I'm thankful for my health and the health of my children and grandchildren." Al Beaver
