Hello, dear blogging friends.
One of our blogging-paper-crafting-friends, Sue Drees, recently shared some sad news.
Her sister fell on June 22, and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. On June 25, the tumor was successfully removed. However, the biopsy brought back devastating news - a fast growing Brain Cancer. Sue's sister is determined to fight this all the way. She began physical rehabilitation on July 4.
Sue and her sister Edith live in the North East (USA). Sue and her husband transport Edith's husband to the hospital each day and check up on changes and quality of care.
While Sue did not ask for help, I've kept in touch with her and asked if Edith would enjoy receiving cards of encouragement and support.
Sue was so grateful that the on-line community might help in this way - it was something she had not considered.
Edith enjoys Quilting and LOVES flowers! Edith's beloved fur child is a little pug, and both miss each other very much.
Cards can be sent addressed to Edith c/o Sue and she will take them daily to the hospital.

I managed to enter your comment box and that is quite an achievement, Donna.
So sad to learn about this news. I will try and send a card as well.
It is rather kind of you to think of this random act of kindness.
Bless you,
