Dear Friends,
I apologize that it has been so long since I last communicated with you. I have had a killer work schedule the last several months and I am finding the holidays difficult this year. Nancy weighs heavily on my mind and I can only imagine what her family is facing this holiday season.
First, I owe each of you a huge debt of gratitude for your help in trying to locate Nancy Moyer. Searching for Nancy has not been an easy task. I thank each and every one of you for donating your valuable time in helping with the searches. I also thank those who have helped with fund raising efforts. I never realized how difficult it is to do this type of activity especially in light of the economic hard times we have all been facing this past year. You are all amazing!!
We have raised over $3,000 to date and will be giving that money to Nancys mother who has indicated she wants to put it in a college fund for Nancys daughters. We are discussing future fund raising options for the upcoming year, but have nothing concrete set at this time.
We have searched north, east, and west of Tenino, but havent done any searching south. I have four locations south of Tenino mapped out that I would like to search in January/February. For safety reasons, I would like to search these four areas as a group and not spread out like we have done in the past. Weather permitting, I hope to get things organized so we can go out on January 16, 23, or 30. I will let you know via email and hope you can join us.
Looking back on this year, I only have one word that describes it for me
surreal. I never dreamed last Christmas the events that would unfold that would forever change my life and the lives of so many others. On the up-side, I have met so many amazing people (each of you) who constantly remind me how powerful the human spirit is.
Please have a safe holiday. Take care of each other.
Bev
