Love those with mental illness

Sun., April 1, 2018

I have just read Mike Gary’s March 21 letter on mental illness. He is the most gentle, kindest person that my husband and I had the pleasure of delivering meals to for Meals On Wheels.

My cousin, whom I was close to, had mental illness and was one of my favorite people ever - big-hearted, loving and fun.

Love them for who they are and not what they are labeled.
