A big THANK YOU to everyone who submitted their names to help with a project I'm working on (see post from October 2nd http://leahstatus.blogspot. com/2013/10/taking-names.html ).  I was extremely touched by every single email that either contained a name or in some cases a story of how they knew Leah or their positive wishes for her and her family (this was not necessary or expected, just something I enjoyed reading and of course I don't think anyone cares less if they didn't share a story).
