I felt like this was a donation that made a statement being as how most of these people don't want to die and I am still currently pissed at STO for making a poor choice....welllllllllllll anyhow.....

As I am filling out the little note that gets tied to the ornament, which are these lovely porcelain bells and christmas trees, the old man from the rotary club finds this 1 ornament at the bottom that is an angel bell, but it's broke. It was missing one wing and the man said, "guess he's only 1/2 way to heaven" and he started to throw it out. I stopped him and said, " that's for me...my friend always thought he was broken but to me he was perfect" and so there is a broken angel on my town's tree of rememberance with the message ~ Skipthisone~ I never could have....Love ya!

One of those smiling through the tears kinds of smiles I suppose.
