A dose of birthday cheer

Today it's Lynn's birthday. She hasn't been around lately because her family is still coming to terms with the loss of her much loved father-in-law and she doesn't feel inspired to write comments at the moment.

Hopefully, there will be help for them, just as there was for the family in the commercial...
