                                  <br class="">
                                  June has asked me to write a poem
                                  about Gracee and sent me a few words
                                  that she wrote down from the memorial…
                                  But I was thinking maybe you all could
                                  help write the poem by sending me a
                                  line or two about Gracie and then I
                                  can sew it all together…<br class="">
                                  <br class="">
                                  Don't worry about the wording... poems
                                  have a tendency to put themselves
                                  together… And don't try to hard to
                                  make it really flowery or poetic… And
                                  it certainly doesn't need to rhyme… Or
                                  you can just send me an idea or two
                                  and I'll be happy to turn it into a
                                  poem...<br class="">
                                  So what do you think? Do you want to
                                  help me write a poem for Gracee? If so
                                  send me your words… please remember
                                  this is a poem not a book… So don't
                                  send me pages! LOL<br class="">
                                  Please send by April 30<br class="">
                                  By the way if you can think of anybody
                                  else that would like to participate in
                                  this project that knew Gracie please
                                  forward this email to them....And if I
                                  forgot anybody I do apologize… I have
                                  a puppy on my lap trying to eat my
                                  jacket and my chair and my shoes yes
