I DID NOT POST THE ORIGINAL E-MAIL, i also think that your respince is a
little inapprotriate. The original post simly asked for support and
prayers, weather the poster is rich or not is irrelevant, and giving
such a negative respoonce is totally unecessairy. Her finalcial
situation is no ones business and those type os statistics do not need
to be thrust in your face just before a procedure, rasearched ot not
Please think before you post, words can be so hurtfull
