We need to infuse love to our arms like a global i...ntravenous and turn ourselves around spinning and laughing until we die. And why should death be feared? Death is not an end, but a beginning" Thanks for sharing in the inspired dream of the Joe Chithalen Memorial Musical Instrument Lending Library which continues to make positive changes in this community and others.
