KatieB Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Another way alot of us "old" members here have been supporting others is by physically sending cards and letters to those who have had surgeries and set-backs and even to those family members who have lost a loved-one to LC. Any member interested in sending letters of condolence and support to Greg Gaithers' family (Bart Ziggy) please shoot me an e-mail or PM and I will provide their address. He leaves behind two children who are not handling things well at all and their mother Charlotte who was a huge support in his care. Thanks guys! (P.S. any others who know of someone who needs the extra encouragement or support thru cards and letter, submit their info and addresses to me privately!) I'm thinking of making this an icon all its own and form a "committee" that can do support, cards and letters and perhaps phone-buddies too. What do you guys think> Will there be a real interest in this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ry Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Great idea Katie. It would be nice to have a way to make phone numbers available to members who want to check on each other. Rochelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Katie- Wonderful ideas. How can we help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyS Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Wonderful idea - BUT if anyone sends a real life card, be kind enough to indicate "from the LCSC message board" or something like that. It's brutal to stand there reading a card and not be able to figure out who the person is, and there's soooooooo many people here they might not recognize your name..... Count me in...

Margaret Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Katie, No wonder this board has become sooooo important in my life. Thanks, Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieB Posted December 15, 2003 Author Share Posted December 15, 2003 I've responded to those who are interested by PM. Didn't want readers out there thinking I've ignored this positive response! Remember- anyone wanting to send cards or wanting to ADD their address to my list shoot me a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
