[My father died]

I'm so sorry Cathy.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

[I should have come here first to introduce myself!]

Meghan,

I'm so glad you've joined in.

Your Mom is one heck of a fighter AND inspiration.

I hope the Tarceva works as good for her as it has for so many here on the board.

I hope to see you here often. Please keep us posted on your Mom.

Warm Hugs,

Melinda

Cindi,

How frustrating dang it! I think you should post it here. Just maybe someone will be able to help you understand a little better.

I'm praying for you in the meantime that there will be a quick solution and you won't have to worry anymore.

Lily,

I'm so sorry. I would feel the same way if I got an unexpected call like that about my x-husband. The flight might not be as bad as you're expecting. I agree about the medication, it will help you and you'll safely arrive to everyone that needs you. Stay strong (You can DO THIS!!) and I'll pray for a very easy flight.

Warm Hugs,

Melinda

Mix up the sauce and cut it up.

I've tried so many times to use the spoons that they give you on your pasta plate in restaurants. Just can't seem to get it right.

Not too good coming from someone who has lots of Italian blood. ughhhhhhh

[News from Karhart (Karen)]

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this.

Praying for you Karen, Ken and your family.

[To our friends,]

Pat,

One foot in front of the other, one day at a time.

You are trying.....that is all that anyone could ask or expect from you at this time. I found a website that has a daily online devotions. It's called griefshare.org.

A season of grief. If you get a chance, you might find a little more comfort in the words.

Please remember, as always, we care and are praying for you.

Warm Hugs,

Melinda
