Message from Lynn Thornton
in West Carthage, New York, U.S.A.

Peace is a fragile flower that needs the tending and nourishment of ALL people if it is to flourish.

As teachers, we tend
the gardeners - the children
the hope for the future.


Lynn Thornton with three of her grandchildren. The baby is Matthew.

Matthew is a special treasure as he had such a difficult start in life. Strong Memorial Hospital, where he has spent so much time, has tagged him as one of the "Miracle Babies", and he will be followed throughout his life. He certainly doesn't look as through he has been through so much; he has a deep and serious gaze that goes straight to your heart - it is so full of trust and love.
