what a touching story, i'm sitting here crying my eyes out ... so touched by the generosity of jeffrey ruhalter.... and the legacy of his family.

jeffrey, if you ever get to read this: you are a credit to the human race, your story touched my heart -- you're an inspiration. i hope we can all muster up a little something to help those less fortunate... but for the grace of god goes i.

I can cry but once than I have to do something.
