MRS. Carol Kirkbride, DAR Chaplain
I want to thank Mrs. Carol Kirkbride, DAR Chaplain for sending me a a physical birthday card in the mail. I was at that time and still am in what they call a severe fatigue, #PEM l, “crash”. It had started 48 hrs after helping a dear friend of mine move. I only helped with packing. I didn’t dare lift anything heavy due to my current & ongoing, disabling symptoms, and chronic disabilities. I have been dealing with these symptoms since a viral attack (AKA Influenza) in 2018. Mrs. Carols card really cheered me up. It had been probably 10 years since I received a bday card in the mail! This tradition is almost extinct! Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness in sending this card. May God bring blessings to you & your family. I hope this gets to you or someone can pass it on. I had planned to write back but of course procrastinated. I will keep your card and send a note soon. God bless!
Sincerely,
Tiffany Nicole Parrish, NCMA,
DAR & First Families of Ohio
