Thanks for your comment – I totally agree with dad continuing to work, and I will suggest the volunteer thing, although he’s not too social. We began discussing what he wants to do after tax season, and HE said he wants to work – on something, anything. Thanks again.

Nancy,
I just want to let you and Julia know that I am thinking of you both. It is hard to believe that it will soon be a year.

You are not alone. We are all here with you, and of course dear Gemma is ALWAYS by your sides.

Hugs to both of you,
Kim

Dear Nancy, do you know how special you are to me? Well, words don’t cover it but you have been such a great support for me. Your words have lifted me up so many times. I wish I could have everyone for dinner, now that would be some incredible energy!
Keeping you in my prayers.
Love and hugs, Cheryl~~~~~~~

Thanks so much for your support of my friend, Ed. It means so much to me to have people in his corner who, despite the fact they don’t even know him, are cheering him on and praying for him. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the kind post. I appreciate you keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. I do have preliminary news on the PET scan—no activity—which is good news! However, I don’t meet with my med onc until tomorrow, so I’ll have more details at that time. Thanks for thinking of me—you’re so sweet!

You know I found this site because of Gemma! I was on Medhelp and somehow started following your girls links and found this site.

Gemma’s innocence was so pure. She was what she was, a young girl with a terrible thing happening to her…but was so very wise for her age ….I just wish that she had more of a chance here. But I guess God had other plans for her. I think of her as one of my angels…

As a mother, I think of me being in your place, loosing your precious girl….and my heart breaks for you.

Hang in there, love the girl you have and remember how Gemma has touched others including me! Her memory still lives on through the hundreds she touched on this and other sites.

Hugs
Teresa

I am speechless. I was unaware that we had lost Gemma. I was keeping a blog for my father whom passed May 9, 2008 and became connected to this wonderful community like I never would have expected. I just read RigidRidr’s blog where he mentions that Gemma is no longer with us and I had to go to her blog and read the details since I took a very long break from this site to heal my heart after Daddy passed.
I can only tell you as a father of a two that I am so sorry for your loss and feel very blessed to have connected with your special, sensitive, bright and talented daughter. Her words of wisdom and pain helped me in a very tough time in my life as I struggled with family issues while caring for my father in his final days. Thank you so much for your hard work as a mother to that special girl who made a huge impact on our community/world and please take care of yourself in light of all of your intense losses of loved ones and take time to grieve if that is at all possible in this hectic world.
With Love,
Timothy Lane

Nancy – Thanks for your nice comment. I am actually waiting for some test results. Should get them today. I feel like the cancer is back but will know more later today. Pray for me that it is good news. I hope you are well.

Nancy;

I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and musing at what Gemma is up to up there in heaven. Lord only knows that she is writing her way through school and signing her autograph with proud fingers. I so miss her words of wisdom. She was an old soul and for that reason I know she is watching over you and her sister. How are the doggies doing? I think that was a lovely you did, by letting her have them. It did so comfort her. I also wonder how her boyfrind is managing? Just a few words back is all …
The reason I wrote is that I saw you respond to Gaile’s blog. I am so sorry to hear of her demise too. It seems all the creative people are leaving us? How is that?
Anyway always know that you are welcome here to comment on our blog.

Take care
Weezie
