Thank you to Diane of Lillians of Hudson, WI
(posted by Kris) So I was with a friend on Saturday morning, less than a day after I started sending emails to my friends about the Handbags Galore Garage Sale and I received a call on my cell phone from out of our area code. The person on the phone said, Hi My name is Diane and you do not know who I am, but I received a forwarded email regarding your Relay for Life Handbag Garage Sale and I own a handbag store in Hudson, WI and I would like to donate 10 handbags to your sale.
WOW, I thought, that is so cool! I got chills just from her generosity. She shared with me that her son plays baseball for St. John’s and that she was coming to Cold Spring in a few hours to watch her son play baseball. This still gives me more chills… We realized that her son was playing baseball on the field right next to where my son was playing baseball, at the same time on the same day we and we knew it had to be more than coincidence! I think she is an angel!
Diane, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your amazing donation. You are making such a huge difference in our lives and helping us with our dream to cure cancer! We feel so blessed by you!
We encourage you if you are passing by Hudson, Wisconsin (just across the border) to stop in and say thank you to Diane!
