Gwen, Thank you for another bang up job. The newsletter is fantastic! Olivia is adorable, and NOT spoiled at all. I enjoyed reading both Sue's and Bobbi's praise of their husbands. Both have great support at home and give so much to us here, it's wonderful. I learned from Mark's answer to John why I need to maintain my Losec, which I had started to decrease feeling that I didn't need it so much any more, it was the wrong thing to do as the pain returned. Now I understand why. So again THANK YOU GWEN for doing such a great thing with this newsletter.

Thanks for the great newsletter Gwen.
The letters from Sue & Bobbi are real good. Sue really knows how to put it into words. I am fortunate to have one just like Mert.
Off to Ear Nose & Throat spec. today. Hope he can give me something to heal up my nose. and scratchy throat. I am getting tired of my nose stuffing up, its hard enough to breath as it is.
I know Jackie is still going to be around and I welcome Gwen. Give it time Gwen and you will do a fine job.

What a terrific newsletter! I loved the stories from Bobbi and Sue about their caregivers. The honesty and love are so touching and so inspiring. The photos were great, too, and the layout made it very easy to read.
Definitely you have been busy, Gwen - to great effect. Thank you and all involved for pulling together a wonderful publication.

To Jackie....hats off to you Lady, you've done a fine job; Phil is smiling down on you girl...with all of our gratitude...Blossom...enjoy some well earned time with loved ones.

Gwen, once more you have outdone yourself! Thank you for all the hard work and time you put into the newsletter. And thanks again for choosing Mert as one of the great caregivers. With recent events here he''s earned that title even more so. Many thanks to Jackie for all she's done for us, too, both personally and on the website. Love you, Jackie!!!

I love you all as welll and TY. You folks are really special.... you really are.... I don't think you realize just how grateful the forum mods, and myself are to have such good members here. Especially the more active participants. The newsletter.....It was a great edition wasn't it? And Bobbi and SueNY wrote absolutely LOVELY, loving tributes to their hubbies. Gives a person the warm fuzzies I tell ya... I'll still be around Valerie, and thank you. We should be finished with the transition the end of the year; I'll still be here at the forum and authoring/working the main website (and there's a lot of updating and writing I've been wanting to do there), but the day to day business and financial and and and will be done by the other Board members..... I have every confidence in them.  |
