I wanted to take a few moments to express my gratitude to everyone on this site. First of to K, R, and W. Thank you so much for all the hard work you guys put into this site to make it the best site for Vol information. I have been a member almost since the beginning and have witnessed first hand the hard work and dedication that you guys put into this site. So a big thank you for not only bringing quality information but maintaining your journalistic integrity. Also wanted to thank you guys for the interaction that give everyone on this site. I have been on a few message boards and you are top notch when it comes to interaction. Thank you for building this amazing community of Vol fans! I could go on and on and list all the things that makes you guys the best in the business but it would take all day!! It is noticed and much appreciated!!
To the members of the board a very BIG thank you. Above I spoke about how great this community is and it is because of people like you. You guys have made this much more to me than a message board. You are my extended family and I love you for it. I consider most of you dear friends. I enjoy reading all the knowledge and information that you bring to board. I hope we have many more 247 meet and greets. Atlanta was so much fun and I enjoyed meeting everyone of you.
I am writing this b/c I am going to have to take a break from being a VIP for awhile. My good friend lost her husband on Jan 27th to suicide. She is only 31 and a mother of two small children under the age of 4! She only works part time as a church day care teacher. Because it was suicide, there is no life insurance. I am giving her all the extra money I can for the next few months to help her get through this difficult time. I know it's only $10 a month but I feel like I need to help her out anyway I can. I will be back as VIP, it just might take a few months to get her there. I will continue to come on and read the things I can and try to join in the discussion as much I can. This was a difficult decision for me but in the grand scheme of things it was the only decision to make.

Thanks for kind words, gr82b. You aren't going anywhere, though ... and you'll still have VIP access.
Folks have already pledged to help you since you are helping your friend.

Prayers for sure! She is too proud to let me set up a fund at our bank. She will only accept my help using the premise it was a loan she will pay back. I have had my paychecks direct deposited in her account for the next few months.
