| Please read me!!! I, and my company, have been selected to head up a memorial quilt project for fallen firefighter Scott Tanksley. We will be collecting patches and t-shirts from nationwide fire stations, emts, police and military, etc to be sewn together into a quilt to be presented to his family. If you or anyone you know would like to donate, please contact me for the address to send the patch/t-shirt to. Please feel free to share this with anyone and everyone, as I need to collect these in the next 3-4 months in order to work on the quilt and have it ready. They are hoping to present it on the 1 year anniversary of his death 2/10/15 Thanks in advance!

| Congratulations on being selected to head Officer Tanksley's memorial quilt project. That's quite an honor and I'm sure, also a privilege for you and your company. But lots of coordination and work lie ahead for you. You are such a giving and caring person to want to take this project on. I'm hoping you get all your donated supplies early and all goes well. Can't wait to see pictures of the quilt once it's done. I know it will be wonderful as I've seen pictures of some of your work. Officer Tanksley's family will be so surprised and happy to receive it and all that it stands for and I'm hoping I get to see the presentation ceremony.
