Gentle strength is a characteristic that is remarkable to embody and so many woman are the pillars of their families.  Melinda, my sister-in-law, has that strength and I admire her for that.  Her gentle strength is used when she responds to a call because she is an E.M.T.  I'm not good at handling emergencies (I'm sure my husband would agree) and I admire people who work in this field to help others.  I'm proud of her and what she does!  Thank you to all of those who help us when an emergency arises and respond to our needs.
