Hi all-

On Saturday morning I will be sending the VoiceMail quilt to Sheila.

Now that Sheila is entering hospice, more than ever, I want to provide her with our voices of love and support. I just felt like our voices would mean so much to her.

I can't...or rather...will not listen to the messages. My only role in this is as an "administrator" - I set up the mailbox and will get the final quilt delivered. But I can see that there are 10 messages for a total of 7 minutes - from a variety of area codes. Thank you all that have sent a message.

This is so hard. I know we are all rocked by the pain and suffering that so many in our HER2 family are facing. I wish I could wrap every single one of you in a quilt of love and encouragement.

Here are just a few of things that would go into my magical quilt:
  • Andi's her positive light and energy, the queen of the World of Yes!
  • Chrisy's CLEVER wit and humor and kindness
  • PinkGirl's funniness too
  • DeniseNED's unsinkableness and caring
  • The Faith of Paula, Tricia, Pray, MaryJo, Penny, Marcia, Ceesun, Mary Ann, Paty, Sassy, Ceya and SO many more.
  • The knowledge of our bright, knowledgeable Lani and Steph and Jacky and Rich.
  • The wonderfulness of all of you...Pam, Karen, Harrie, Bonnie, Joan, Suzan, Alice, Amanda, Paul, Bill, Mike, Sarah, Leslie, Linda, Emelie, Jessica, Donna, Kim and so so SO many others.
Love,
Maureen
