A very special thank you from the Hollingworth Family

As Craig and I read the email sent by Nora Mullen we were moved to tears by the generosity of so many people and the thought of hundreds of children receiving a special bear in Courtney's name.

Courtney has a huge, huge heart for young children. For a person who is often inpatient with adults she is exceedingly patient with children. While babysitting, for the Laffey's for instance, it doesn't phase her at all if the baby is crying, the toddlers are running around screaming and Sarah Grace or Sam are speaking to her all at one time.

As her mother, and someone who consciously stopped at 2 children, I am in awe of this trait. No doubt she takes after my own mother who had 7 children.

Someday when Courtney can fully appreciate these acts of love and kindness in her name she will also be moved to tears of joy and appreciation.

Thank you to all of you and especially to Nora Mullen who came up with this idea and did virtually all the work. God Bless You!
