Re: Please Read -- Darlene Update--Long

[Guest guest]

My Dear, Dear friend,

What most of the group does not realize is that Darlene and I have never met. Nor have I had the joy of meeting any of the other "gang" members.

Darlene and I have talked a couple of times on the phone, and I know that I feel such a loving friendship with her, as well as the rest of the "gang."

Darlene, to know that you've come thru this illness, and are feeling like you can come back and start to celebrate life - and we pray a new granddaughter-- (she's gonna be fine, today's cardiologists can do so much so very early----- and hey, she's got some of your fighting spirit in her genes!) so you know we'll want pictures!

Can you believe we are almost 500 members strong! Whodda thunk it! LOL!

Thank you for taking this group over when it came time for Aisha to move on. I know that was a huge decision-- and we've all been able to grow and share our knowledge with each other.

Rose, , Debbie, even our long lost Kim (I do wish I know how she is...) are so marvelous. Talk about women with huge, huge hearts-- ladies, God Bless You all.

Marla and Ron, our Chat Hosts-- we know that even your health makes this volunteer process of hosting a challenge, but the rooms wouldn't have been reopened without you. None of us were up to taking that on.

Darlene, I sure wish you were close enough to meet for coffee, but hey 2,000+ miles across the US is one that makes that a bit of a challenge. so know you can pick up the phone, and send an email, and anyone of us is here-- even for you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love to you,
