In Palm Valley I did not know anyone before…
I met Kathy Dittemore!

It had been 20 years…
When she met me in tears…

At the funeral of John…
Unimaginable… he has been gone this long!

I had never expected…
To be reconnected.

It was a lucky day
When she approached me to say…

(In writing class)… Out of the blue…
“Marie I know you”

I am as happy as can be
That she recognized me.

She soon called up…
And invited me into her home and for lunch at the club.

Today she introduced me to a great bunch…
Of her friends…when she hosted a wonderful fashion show and lunch.

She deserves applause
For volunteering for this cause

She did more then her best
Contributing to the event of Hidden Harvest.

Kathy I admire you
So glad I got to know you!

Thank you for your consideration
In extending this invitation.

And on a near future date
I like to reciprocate.

The last line in this rhyme…
Is asking you to set the date and time!
