Connie B Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 My Long Time Friend Gail! Wow, I get someone I have known for many many moons! Let's see what I have learned about my friend Gail. She's kind, caring, supportive, sensitive, loving, warm, gentle, funny, more funny, and a darn GOOD CANCER SURVIVOR! And a HECK OF A GOOD FRIEND! Love & Hugs, Con Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Well, okay. I don't know the rules about doing this twice. BUT I WAITED and WAITED and I just couldn't hold myself back anymore. Dear Connie, What we ALL love about you is, first of all, your smile ! But besides that, you serve as such a role model for all of us to aspire. You are a SURVIVOR that gives us all HOPE and so many encouraging words. You are wise and offer your wisdom in difficult times. I LOVE you for that too! Oh Connie, there is too much that we all love about you, it would take a WHOLE thread just for that. Please keep doing what you have been doing for us for a LONG time to come! Love from me (and from everyone else, I'm sure), Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Hi there Barb. We haven't officially met yet. My name is David. How do you do? I am well, thank you. Wow, look whose talking about being supportive -- you who only joined a few months ago and have a couple hundred posts already; they're all over the board in all the forums; you're always praying for someone, and God Blessing them; and you always seem so darned happy and positive! Barb, you epitomize what this website and message board were started for. We are all thankful that you continue to give of yourself. Thank you Barb, and take care. David P.

kimblanchard Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 David, it would be so easy for you to leave this group, following your successful battle with LC, But you have stayed and continue to offer support for those of us that need it the most. Thank you I wish I could reply to every post and let each of you know how important you are. jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Jim, I always enjoy reading your posts. It's so obvious that you really put thought into each and every one of them. Your words always reflect hope. I love fact that your gransdon is "your shadow." I'm sure he loves yu very much!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chloesmom Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Ok, time for me to jump in here. I honestly could go all the way up this thread and say something I like about all 33 or so of you ahead of me. As I've said so many times, this board saved my sanity when I was first in testing, diagnosis, and treatment and I will never ever forget the power of hope this board gave me. That said, I'll move on to the purpose of this thread. Ann, you've been here for all of us, even though your husband passed a while ago. Your advice to those of us who have this disease, and to those family members trying to reconcile their loved one having to go through this disease has been truthful, direct, practical, and helpful to all of us. You carry on now with dignity, and I am sure your dear husband is proud of you. I appreciate your continuing interest in us. Thank you, Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debi Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Well, I'm not sure either if you can post twice but I started the dang thread and Kasey already broke the 2 post rule , so the heck with it. Cindy, you have been there with me though every ache and pain, every perceived met and the dreaded scans. We have laughed at ourselves and compared neurosis on more than one occasion (okay, maybe 10). At any time I can PM you with any ailment, or you me, and the reply comes back with "Oh no, I felt/thought/did that too!" You even have "popped" like I do. You are truly a friend. Your posts to others are always sensible, and always encouraging. I am SO glad that you are on this board, and even though we don't always have the time to correspond, just knowing you are here and seeing your name makes me always feel a little bit better. Thanks Cindy, for being so wonderful and even more so, for sticking around here with me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Oh, Debi....a wicked sense of humor AND the leader of the Chicken Cult! I believe we are speeding down that "Highway to Hell" together, but DAMN, this motorcycle and sidecar are the way to go...wind in my hair, bugs in my teeth... Who knew "being sick" could be so much fun?! I love ya girl, you make me laugh until I cry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy B Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Debi, I am so glad you were back on here again. I hope I don't miss you this time. You have always been so supportive of everyone on here - I so enjoy reading your posts. Thanks for being here. (and your little boy is soooooo cute).

Leslie221 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Katie! You were one of the first people on this site whose posts I learned to look for. You're kind of like the den mother who steers this site toward success - you've created a large, united, comforting family for all of us! As a person who doesn't have much actual family left, this family has come to mean a lot to me. For all you do, this 's for you!! Thank you for sharing yourself with the rest of us.

Lisa O Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Leslie, First of all.... I love that picture. I also have to admit, I automatically fall for any animal lover. Beyond all that, you are very warm and supportive and quite witty.... You have really become an asset to this board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindseysmom Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Lisa, What I like about you is that you are always supportive of others, very postive and always know exactly what to say. I love your pictures of you and the girls. Debi, Very nice thread. Best Wishes, Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindi o'h Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Ohhh! I get Dee! You're easy. I like how you seem to have accepted this lc and live with it. I especially like the words of encouragement you have for everyone on this board. You are quick to give of yourself and offer up prayers. I can tell you are a thoughtful, kind woman. We gotta talk fishing sometime, since that is a sport I am truly interested in also! I like how you stay after to help clean up the pub. (demanding paymnent in yet another corona is okay by me, cuz you are a good sweeper! ) Especially, I want to wish you a double, triple congrats on surviving this beast.. wait up for me!!! I am running right behind you! Love you, Dee. So happy you are here among the rest of us! Cindi o'h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geri Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 My lucks in, I get the publican!! As a true Brit I recognize what a contribution pubs make to the civilized world and I must say that Cindi's is one of the best. Cindi, you're always there for everyone no matter what you're going through yourself.......you are truly one of a kind and I'm so glad you're back from your trip to keep these boozers in line once more. I'm raising my glass to you, Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addie Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Ahhhhh....and I get the feisty Brit from up North! From the beginning, Geri, and despite the fact that you aren't a real frequent poster....I knew you'd beaten this disease and were enjoying life..and I decided I wanted to be you! I love your attitude. You just keep on living and don't worrytoomuchaboutit.....altho at test time, you will admit to a wee bit of concern, like most of us have. Of course, most here haven't been privy to some of our more raunchy, outspoken emails to each other ....but suffice to say, Geri tells it like it is and LIVES it like it is too! I don't think Geri even found this site until she was nearly 2 years out from dx....and still she comes around to encourage and support others of us! I give her high points for that! Plus, I need to mention that the woman has a black belt in shopping. And living in the boonies up north, that is NO mean feat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Addie- I love your positive posts and outlook in the face of all the crap this disease has dealt you. You continue to rise up to each challenge for yourself as well as find time and energy to support others with your commonsense advice and wicked sense of humor. Thanks for being you.

Nushka Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Tiny, Wow, what can I say? You are amazing. I admire you so much for making the most of your life.

Fall54 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Nina, My late night buddy!!! I have seen you support everyone on this board and with compassion and some great knowledge. You are a wonderful, caring person Nian and it was great to share the wee hours with you, even if I am TRYING to get more well behaved and get myself in bed at a decent hour now days. Thank you for you're love and support!! God Bless You, Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebywater Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Fall-- The word that comes to mind when I think of you is 'gentle.' Your posts are always so gentle and compassionate. You speak from your heart and your experience and your words are wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eileen Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Treebywater What I like about you is how strong you have been and that you always offered support to others when your plate was full. You had a sick Mother, a newborn, a husband that was away, and yet you were still able to cope and comfort others --well that is an amazing accomplishment. Your Mother must have been very proud of you, she raised a strong and caring woman. regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debi Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 Since I started this, I suppose that its only fair, that I also am the last . And what a great ending, talking about my friend Eileen... Eileen, you remind me of home and I am so glad that we are friends. From the beginning, you have been there for me; it is always so great to find someone that thinks so much like yourself (scary too! ). You are a shining beacon of hope for so many people (including me) with your long term survivorship! Your posts are always honest, and even when you have a different point of view, your posts always have class. You weigh your words carefully, when I see your name somewhere, I know that you have something important to add.. Thank you for being here and for staying here to share your strength and wisdom Eileen. I, for one, have benefited much from it and from your support!

Mr Ry Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Oops, I was doing a test of my new Google spell checker for the internet forms. Now I can write my posts directly in the lchelp form. Hey, it works. I did not intend to hit submit. Now I have to say something nice about Debi. To be a member of this board and a member of the chicken cult, she has to be very special.
