(kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, there's nothing magical like a white Christmas, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Vicky, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |
