Dear Friends:
As many of you know, the East Coast is facing an unprecedented major hurricane (Hurricane Irene) that has crippled New York City and other cities and communities on the Eastern seaboard.
I'd like to send a special message to my East Coast Friends to let you know that my thoughts are prayers are with you and your families for a safe journey through the storm.
I'd also like to send a special thank you to all my family and friends who have called me to check on my status and my whereabouts. So far, the area that I live is okay and I am okay. I thank you for your thoughts, prayers and concerns. It really means a lot, especially at a time like this. It is a wonderful reminder that we are not alone!
Take care and I wish the best for everyone!
Sincerely,
Benita Charles Music
