I was told a story about a lady in the hospital who was near death when an area Chaplain came to visit her. This Chaplain was a very young female with long blond hair. She listened to the lady who was ill and left her a small gift for comfort It was a tiny ceramic frog. The next day one of the people from the lady's church came to visit..

"E R I C " "S E I P" Just wanted to write about something that touched my heart today.You know We hear so much bad in the world.That the good seem to get lost amongst the confusin of this society.Today My nephew Eric Doran.(Hes the lead singer for a heavy metal rock band (S.E.I.P.) had two important events to go to.The first was for his Uncle Johnny(on his Dads side)They gave him two months to live. So They honored Uncle Johnnys wishes by throwing him a huge bar-b-que. Eric and his wife April stayed awhile and then headed to to the local pub Fat Cats........To help raise money for Sandra Cantu's Mom..... Eric's band Seip and ten other bands got together and put on a concert. All proceeds went to Sandra's Mother. Sandra's dissapearance made world wide news. We all have the image of this little girl skipping off to play. And what happened to her is undescribable. I just wanted to say Im proud of my nephew for taking time out to do a worthy cause.Seip
