***Our Founder, Christine, can use prayers***

[StephN]

On this Mother's Day over 10 years after the founding of this on line support site our founder could use your positive thoughts, well wishes and prayers.

Apparently she continues to lose weight and not improve. Sorry for this news, but I consider her the "mother" of this web site, so thought it an appropriate time to post.

Remember her two daughters as well, as times are difficult for them.

This is a card that I have bought for Christine, but haven't yet sent.

We weren't
created
to love
selfishly.

We were created
to make
a difference
in the lives
of others.

Just thinking,
as I often do,
about
what a special person
you are
and how much
more wonderful
my world is
because you're in it.

Christine, I wish for you a blessed Mother's Day with your daughters because you SO deserve it! I am sending positive healing comforting prayers to you and I think of and thank you often!

Love, Caroline

[Paty]

My prayers are with them, particularly on this special day. god bless them and each one of our members in this board now and always.

[ElaineM]

Happy Mother's Day to Christine and her daughters.
We are hoping you will recover your strength very soon.
Take good care of yourselves.

[Catherine]

All good wishes are coming your way on this special Mother's Day. We hope you were able to be together today and enjoy the spirit of the day. I agree, Christine, you are the Mother of our Her2 website. I along with the rest of the "kids" hope you feel stronger in the coming days. Hugs to you and your wonderful daughters.

[StephN]

Our dear departed Sheila posted the following last summer (the address is still the same). Better to send a card as Chris does not have a computer there.

Just found out that Christine, Our Founder of her2support, is still in the rehab center...maybe we could shower her with cards and posts here to keep her spirits up....without her, we would not have each other's support. This was her idea, her vision, and look how far its come...WE OWE HER!!!!!

Dear Lord,
Please continue to watch over Christine and her family. Please bring them peace and comfort in their time of need. Please spare Christine any pain, and help her to know how much she means to so many people. Please give her strength and courage.
Amen.

Christine and her family are in my thoughts and prayers, and I will send a card this week.

Christine, I too think of you often. Always with gratitude for creating this link for us, your Sisters and Brothers. You make such a difference is so many lives!

Wishing you and your daughters health and happiness along with harmony. You've faced so much, so bravely, heroically in fact. You are our shero! Take good care of one another.

I will send a card, as Steph suggests...

Thanks, StephN, I'm going to send her a card as well as a bottle of Lingchih (Ganoderma Lucidum = Shitake mushroom extract) which can increase appetite (my own experience) besides its claim to fight cancer.

Thoughts and prayers on this Mother's Day for Christine and her two daughters. Thank you for all you have done for the many here and the many future members to be. You have given us all a place of support and comfort and we will forever be grateful for all you have done for us. May you have better days ahead.

[Adriana Mangus]

Hi Steph, thank you for the post. Christine is indeed the mother of our organization. It wouldbe nice if we can all sign a card for Christine. Any
ideas as to how to initiate the circulation of a card for everyone to sign?
Too complicated? No experience here. Don't know how. :(

Love,

Adriana

[Adriana Mangus]

Hi Jackie, where can I get a bottle of that?

Thank you for the info?

Love,

Adriana

[Andrea Barnett Budin]

I sent a letter, on pretty paper, floral envelope w/happy stickers, love and prayers tucked inside...

The more that come the merrier I would think. And someone will read them to her. This is what I used to do re my mom.

love,
Andi

[rinaina]

My prayers go out to Christine. It is truly amazing that she and Joe had the idea for, and then were able to develop this website and provide the wonderful support and critical information so many of us have benefited from. We are all thinking of you, Christine, now and always!!

Cathy

[StephN]

Please, everyone, Christine needs our prayers (or whatever belief you have) more than ever.

I don't know any details, just that it is a critical time.

I mailed off a card yesterday before I heard the update. Ugh, I hate it when there is sad news. But I hope that Christine is comfortable and peaceful.
