It may have been an economic necessity but it puts a religious institution in the ranks of less kindly cut throat operations who cut staff and add to the workloads of those who remain and I think another letter is called for apologising for giving rise to the miscomception.Quayquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07563998466278656599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-16733353592264376342013-05-04T14:26:00.847-04:002013-05-04T14:26:00.847-04:00For shame!

Only the "truth" that most conveniently suits and positively reflects on the go-forward managers. <br /><br />Hold your head high and move forward joyfully into this new chapter of your life . . . and remember we are here with and for YOU.<br /><br /><br />Quiltdivajuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593385265961892847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-85275701695018762022013-05-04T09:17:30.232-04:002013-05-04T09:17:30.232-04:00Hugs.
