***Cards/Notes for Christine***
Some of you may be new and are not familiar with who Christine is, but she is not only a fellow WARRIOR, but is also the founder of this truly REMARKABLE website. As some of you may have seen, Christine has had a "bump in the road", and I call it this as she previously fought and prevailed over this horrible disease and I feel confident that she will again. I would like to ask ALL of you to take the time and mail Christine a card/note of encouragement as without her and Joe, we would have no place to turn during or AFTER our fight i.e. they've provided support for us, now it is OUR turn to "pay it forward". Take care and God bless.

Rhonda:
Thanks for the info. You are so right. This sight is the first and last place I look for the information that I need. Joe and Christine have been a God send.

Christine
Do you have her home address? Have you checked with Joe if it's ok? I think is a terrific idea, I just don't know whether Joe is ok with it.
