Thank you Pastoral Healthcare Network Australia for this beautiful shawl that you gave me when I was sitting in the grief of my Dad's passing (April, 2021).
Every time I wear it now, I remember how sad I was and what a lovely warm comfort the shawl brings to me knowing that someone crocheted it to help me along the way ❤️ Still miss Dad of course but the sadness has flown - Jacqui Dreessens

Thank you Pastoral Healthcare Network for your very kind gesture of supporting love. My name is Antje Seeber from Alentejo, Portugal and Jacqui Dreessens gave me your healing heart 💖. I carry it in my bag with me everywhere. Thank you from my heart.
