I promised with my “Soul Signs from the Other Side” book sales that all money would go to charities that benefit “children without parents” as Mother Mary asked of me. It’s a love story about my late husband Bob who had a glioblastoma brain tumor in 2013.

My book is about “Signs” that I received from him and others that passed before me. I have many photos of my own proof of signs and hope this book helps others to find their own after the loss of a loved one. It can be purchased at Amazon for $24.99 and you can read the many wonderful reviews that are on the book site.

This week I gave a check for $1,000 to WAYPOINT, The Children’s Place. It was very cold outside so we did the presentation in my home. I like to showcase these presentations as it shows that my word to give all proceeds to charity to be true.

The Children’s Place and Parent Education Center (TCP) was founded in 1978 for childcare and support services for families with children under the age of six years. TCP is a program of Waypoint NH.

You can bet that I am very proud and grateful that to date my total from book sales is $6,500.

Thanks to all who bought my book; because of you we help the kids together.

God Bless You
