A VERY SPECIAL MEMORY FOR A VERY SPECIAL PERSON ON HER BIRTHDAY...I JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYONE AT CLR KNOW JUST HOW MUCH I APPRECIATED ALL THE SUPPORT LAST YEAR FOR A DEAR AND SPECIAL FRIEND OF MINE. EVERYONE AT CLR SHOWED ME HOW A TRACK CAN BECOME NOT ONLY CLOSE FRIENDS BUT LIKE A SECOND FAMILY IN A TIME OF NEED. MOST OF U PROBABLY REMEMBER LAST YEAR I SET UP A TABLE FOR A FRIEND OF MINE WHO 5 YEARS AGO LOST HER 4 YEAR SON AND THEN LAST MARCH LOST HER 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER BOTH TO THE SAME BRAIN TUMOR. NOT TO MENTION MY BEST FRIEND HAD THE SAME TUMOR AND WAS IN REMISSION FOR ALMOST A YEAR AT THAT TIME. WELL ALL OF U AT CLR DONATED FROM THE HEART AND HELPED ME RAISE THE MONEY TO GET HER 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER A HEADSTONE B/C THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET ONE.. WHEN I DELIVERED THE HEAD STONE SHE CAME BACK WITH ME AND VISITED CLR AND THOUGHT IT WAS AN AWESOME TRACK AND COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW WELL STRANGERS WOULD COME TOGETHER TO HELP ANOTHER STRANGER. WELL THAT FOLLOWING WEEK HER 6 YEAR OLD SON COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY COULDN'T GO TO EMERALD POINTE FOR VACATION AND WAS REAL UPSET OVER IT .. BUT THEN ONCE AGAIN EVERYONE OF U CAME TOGETHER AND WE RAISED ENOUGH MONEY TO SEND THAT FAMILY TO EMERALD POINTE WITH A ONE NIGHT STAY IN A NICE CABIN AT THE CAMPGROUND. I HADN'T SEEN THAT LITTLE BOY SO HAPPY IN A LONG TIME. BUT SADLY HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT WOULD BE HIS LAST VACATION WITH HIS MOTHER AS SHE PASSED AWAY A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER THAT WITH THE SAME TUMOR.IT HAS BEEN HARD OVERCOMING THIS ESPEPCIALLY WITH IT NOW BEING WHAT WOULD OF BEEN HER 28TH BIRTHDAY. AND I WANTED EVERYONE TO BE ABLE TO WISH HER A HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON THIS SPECIAL DAY B/C THOUGH U DIDN'T KNOW HER PERSONALLY U ALL HELPED HER FAMILY DO THINGS THEY WOULDN'T OF BEEN ABLE TO DO.AND I KNOW NOW SHE IS PAIN AND CANCER FREE AND WITH HER 2 LIL ANGELS WHO WENT ON FIRST BUT WE STILL MISS HER VERY MUCH SO ON BEHALF OF MYSELF (DAWN TANT AND CASCELL RACING) AND MARY ELLEN'S FAMILY WE WANTED TO THANK EACH AND EVERYONE OF U VERY MUCH ........AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARY ELLEN... GOD BLESS YOU!!!!
