		 Dawn, 
I wish Lyn the best as I know how brutal this disease can be. Please pass-on well wishes to Lyn from this group. Also, please take care of yourself. 
  
I think we all need to say a prayer for Lyn.

Please tell Lyn, that I am keeping her in my prayers.  She has been such an inspiration for me.  Maybe you could give her a big Hug from me too!

You are in my thoughts.  You are so special to me as you reached out through your own misery to me on a personal note through PM.  I  send healing, loving thoughts over the miles that seperate us.

		 Please tell Lyn to Hurry up and get back to us. Many  of the most rewarding posts come from her. I have never responded to her posts but I always look for them as an inspiration and a positive note. 
 
Love and light (as she always says), 
                                          My prayers are with her, Alice
