TESTIMONIALS

Last Monday as we had our usual fun at Starbucks. Two ladies separately stopped by to tell us how much their pillows meant to them as they faced breast cancer and radiation and chemo.

Also, we received this wonderful email from Charles’ Dad, Bob Peirsol:

Just a short note to let you and the ladies know how much I have enjoyed my pillow that Charles brought to me, it has become very useful with the type of surgery I had. Ann and I really enjoyed being with the group and stuffing pillows a couple weeks back; it was a joy just being around all of the ladies. Keep up the good work and please pass this on to all.

Again thanks for being so thoughtful

Hope to do it again sometime soon (stuff pillows that is)

What a wonderful outreach we are achieving together!
