We recently received this letter from Sea Rescue supporter Patricia Rossiter. It struck a cord with us so we thought that we should share it:To the Editor,Christmas approaches ( already!) and I started thinking about the NSRI volunteers who may be called out away from their families.I admire them and I also admire their families who have to face an interruption to their Christmas / New Year celebrations. The families face the waiting, the fear - what’s happening? Are they alright?Thank you to the volunteers and also to the families for their willingness to let the volunteers go out, sometimes risking their lives.For the volunteers and their families I pray for a peaceful safe holiday season.Best wishes fromPatricia Rossiter
