One will never know the impact Pello has had on the world with his work with many Belarusian children. He helped to extend their lives and his extending love from the US to those children was like a mini-UN effort. Oh, to be remembered in such a wonderful way. Marie, my deepest sympathy to you and my thanks for supporting Pello in his mission.
