I want to thank all the people who have been so supportive of me after my ordeal.
In particular, the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council for the lovely flowers and Nancy Farmer, who was first on the scene and who looked after me in so many ways along with Rebecca Bakeman. Marie Chambers led a procession of her toddlers carrying various colors of chrysanthemums, which were put in a vase for me to take home. Msgr. Polizzi stopped for a visit to voice his concern; I also received a visit from another person from St. Roch’s, Sister Leo Ann. Arlene Sandler, my boss, took a lot of time to drive me places such as the junk yard to visit the remains of the Dodge Dart. Firehouse 30 and in particular David Crawford and several others wanted to tow the Dart to the firehouse and fix it up for me.
I was really touched. Also thanks to Ed Stout and Karen Clay of Aid for Victims of Crime and the very kind Detective Saylor of the 7th District.
Thanks to David Schmidt who took the time to do many kind things.
To the Kiosk patrons, thanks for all the hugs and embraces and the handshakes, as well as your prayers and good wishes and offers of help.
Thanks for letting me know you care. — Mary Ann Shickman
