Dear James,

I've visited your site daily for over a year.I think
your site is the Best.
I'm impressed at the numerous sites you list on a
daily basis.I appreciate your diligent work in
bringing your readers new free items and contests
daily.
I enjoy reading your "useless fact of the day",which
can sometimes be very useful.
I'm writing today to ask if you could please post a
very special Prayer request on your page. I know it's
not your usual format but as a parent,father,I hope
you will consider it.
Last Sunday,August 22,I got the phone call every
mother dreads.There had been a house fire in the early
morning.When I arrived at our local hospital I was
told that my daughter-in-law,Amanda,26,was killed from
the smoke.My 4 year old granddaughter,Emma,was being
treated but died 20 minutes after my arrival.My
youngest granddaughter,Sophie,just 3 months old was
flown to Pittsburgh.Sophie remains in very critical
condition.My son,David, was at work at the time of the
tragedy.He is staying at the hospital with Sophie.
We desperately need prayers for Sophie.We need a
Miracle from our Lord.
I know you can reach many people through your site.I
appreciate your consideration and your time.
As my son said.."HUG Your Children-Love Your Family"
things can change faster than you ever thought.

God Bless You & Your Family,
Sincerely,
Tammy Ritter


and here is a follow up email with her....


Dear James,
Yes,you may use my email address.I think it best to
use my home address,as Davids' house is vacant.
My home address is:

Tammy Ritter ( cuddlysnugglebear@yahoo.com )
231 Fountain Avenue
Ellwood City, PA 16117



The latest update on Sophie is that they are going to
start weaning her from the ventilator this week,we
will know if this is good news if she breathes on her
own. Otherwise,Sophies condition remains the same.
Please continue with the prayers.
Thank you for your kindness.

Sincerely,
Tammy Ritter


I just thought I'd post this if anyone wanted to send a card to the family. I am.

What a tragedy. I also get James daily newsletter but I havn't read it yet today. Wrapping the family in huggles and so many prayers and healing vibes to little Sophie. I can't even begin to imagine what is going on in Mom Tammy's heart and mind.
