I feel bad because it has taken me so long to post a comment about this event, but in my defense, Linda had practice for "Palm Beach Idol" the day after we returned. I would like to say what a wonderful job the fan club organizers did hosting this event. The ladies at our table were so impressed with the personalized goody bags for the children. They said: "what other fan club gathering would worry about that except for Finola's? When Summer opened her bag she said: "Finola knows exactly what I like!" I just feel as if the attention to detail was admirable. Although Finola so likes to play characters like Anna Devane because of their grit, the word I've always thought of to describe her is class- and this was a classy event. I was also so blessed to be a part of an event to help the people of Sudan, and I loved the introduction Finola gave at the beginning. As for the words to describe Finola and her prescence at this event, well, I truly find words to describe hard to come by. The beauty, the grace, the ability to reach out to other human beings and connect with an honesty that is rare, it is indeed a gift to those of us lucky enough to attend. It is this gift, of herself really, that makes "How Do I Look" a show that is so interesting to watch. Finola mentioned a favorite show that she had recently filmed which featured a young lady who had just lost her husband. Finola described the young lady as "grace." But at the end of that show the young lady said: "People think that this is just a show..., and went on to explain that what Finola and her crew had given to her was so much more. That is grace in motion... Thank you Finola, for just being YOU! WHAT A GIFT!!!
