Hi Joe, I am new to the site, although my wife, Nicola, was somewhat active. She passed away on Nov. 18th. She had promised to send 50 dollars somewhere so that a group of people could go to a retreat or spa of some sort in Az. Could you please help me to find out where to send the money? Thanks, Bill. Please send the reply to Dtek10@aol.com

Hi Bill,

Please accept my deepest condolences on your lovely wife's passing. We've lost too many of our sisters.

I found the post about the spa trip that Nicola wanted to contribute to. Here's a link to the thread, and I think one of the organizers gives her phone number as a contact.

Thank you so much for remembering Nicola's sisters in this very stressful time for you. I am sure Nicola is smiling down on you for fulfilling her wishes.
Blessings,
Janet

thinking of you

Bill, I just happened to run into your post tonight. How wonderful that you want to follow through with your wife's "to do" list and contribute to the spa girls. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you are getting through the winter ok. Thank goodness for all the wonderful husbands and significant others out there. I too tell everyone I can about our HER2 site.

Take very good care of yourself,
Catherine
