Posted on March 1, 2025 by elizabethdonald_7o83t2

I am participating in the American Cancer Society Read Every Day challenge. This is an easy one for me, as I read every day anyway!

Relay Reading: Day 5

Posted on February 6, 2025 by elizabethdonald_7o83t2

Another chapter of Why We Can’t Sleep, this one on job instability.

Now that all the relatives have been informed, I am free to share the sad news that Violet “Pat” Byrd Stribling has passed away. Grandma Pat died a few days ago, peacefully in her sleep and in the company of family. She was my mother’s stepmom and my last surviving grandparent, so the sadness I…

As most of you know, I’ve been a Relay for Life team captain for more than 15 years, raising money for the American Cancer Society.
