John and Luella!
I now have a box of tissues permanently stationed by the computer-I know when I open anything from the two of you I am going to need them, but this masterpiece....all I can say is BRAVO!

It was like watching a movie (John you touch me so deeply). I am so happy for your mom, for so many reasons.

Thank you, thank you thank you.

Oh, and if I forgot to say-yes I agree that she is a Woman of Courage and I am proud to pay homage to her.

Hi John!  Wonderful article.  Your mom is truly a woman of couage and definately deserves this honor.  I am sure she is proud.

Dear Joyce, I am humbled by your words.  I am honored that my mother's life story has touched you so deeply.  She had so much love to give and never received all the love due her.

Luella and I treasure your friendship.  We look forward to a successful year together as friends and as business associates.

Love and Peace,

John Elliott, aka Oaky Wood

Veronica, I thank you for your kind words.  It is I who hold extreme pride at having had such a wonderful soul be my mother.  Time and space can never dim my love for her.

Love and Peace,

John Elliott, aka Oaky Wood
