Hi Kathie Lee -- do you have any plans to re schedule at Feinsteins? We were sorry to have missed your show, but you totally made the right decision. Our prayers have been with you and your whole family.

I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your thoughts and prayers, your emails, your notes regarding my Daddy's passing. I can't begin to tell you how much comfort it brought me and my whole family.

KATHIE LEE I WISH YOU WOULD DO A PRIME TIME VARIETY SHOW LIKE THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW!!!!!! MANY FAMILIES WOULD ENJOY THIS TYPE OF PROGRAMMING OVER REALITY SHOWS
