If you could please do me a favor I would really appreciate it!
Jenna is so far away - she'll be in Paris until Dec. 19 - so if you could help me out and send her a birthday hello it would be great!
Her birthday is Nov. 21 - she'll turn 24 years old and her transplant from Jan. 2007 is working beautifully!
Here's her email address jemmina _ 13@yahoo.com (without the spaces - it's jemmina then underscore then 13 @ yahoo.com)
Thank you!!

 :thx; :thx; :thx; :thx; :thx;

Thank you everyone. It's 9 hours ahead of us in Paris so her birthday begins in about 7 hours. My friend is taking her to dinner. This is the first birthday that I haven't been with her... ever!

I spoke to her a while ago - she said she had 14 new emails that she was going to save for morning. And she also got some birthday cards in the mail that she was going to open at breakfast. Thanks again for sending my baby some LOVE!  :guitar:
