We hope this message reaches you and your families in good health and spirit. The holiday season is upon us. Thanksgiving dinners, Christmas shopping, celebrations with our family and friends are highlights for the upcoming season. For some, the season is a reminder of their good fortune throughout the year. Yet for others, it’s a time of frustration, sadness, and despair.
