Attn: A LETTER OF APPRECIATION

[JLC]

This was e-mailed to me from Jerome, who most of you know, is Bruce's partner. I got permission to share it with all of you, since, after all, I'm but one of many and this thanks is to every soul who participated in Bruce's relief...monetarily, with goods, kind words, and thoughts and prayers.

I'm told this MUST be read with a French accent.

Hello Judy,

This is Jerome (Bruce from B.P net). I asked Bruce for your e-mail address in order to thank you so very much for what you have done with all the donations toward him and his snakes!

This donation was the most graceful gesture that you and all others involved in this mass funding could have ever done for him and his little family of snakes (and rats also). I am not sure of how many of you, but it seems like a lot of people. It is so nice to see that there are good in people to help out not only a friend but the animals too.

I was here to witness Bruce's expression every time funds came through and a few tears were shed from him. Even though Bruce is a very quiet individual, serious and intellect, i could tell that you have not only made his days better but gave him a new life in someways. He was expressing it silently but felt extremely grateful and supported.

With this donation, he will be able to get his family rebuilt again soon, to get all the equipments and proper homes for the snakes as soon as we are moved back into a new place (july 1) That alone is what is important, the poor snakes have been through a lot lately because of the fire.

Anyways, just a quick note in thoughts that i would personally thank you for him, his passion and dreams. If such unfortunate event would have happen to anyone else, he would have done the same thing.

Jerome

PS: sorry about my english...I am not as eloquent as Bruce...The french in me ;-)

Wow! Way to go BP.net!!

Now I feel bad for not being able to spare anything at the time.

I'm hoping to maybe pay a visit when I head up North. Looking forward to possibly meeting Bruce and Jerome in person!

Please don't feel bad! I know that kind words, thoughts and prayers are just as important to the heart as money is to the pocketbook.

That. Is amazing. We should all pass around a big bear hug.

The letter was beautiful, and touching too. The French accent tip really made me giggle though. But then again I haven't heard French that much so my brain does the dramatic overly done accent. LOL

Thanks for sharing Judy, and the French accent was key to reading that letter hehe

I'm happy I was able to help and be part of the community efforts in getting Bruce on his feet again.

I am very happy to be part of a community that will jump at the chance to help a fellow member in need. This is what it's all about!
