<div style="RIGHT: auto"> I truly must say thank you to more people than I could keep track of Saturday. So many people helped me with my vigil and elevation. They brought me food, drink, ran errands, controlled the flow of well wishers into my vigil, helped me set up and clean up, and they helped my family with whatever they needed. If I miss someone please forgive me.<VAR id=yui-ie-cursor></VAR></div>
