A Call For Help

As you know, Donna has had some setbacks that have changed her schedule and she will be in the hospital longer than we anticipated. While the care at the hospital is excellent, it is really important to have someone with Donna to encourage her and help keep her spirits up.

After next week we will "run out of sisters" able to be here for extended periods of time. If you are within driving distance of Duke and would be willing & able to spend a day at the hospital with her, we would really appreciate hearing from you. For those that might have more time available and can spend 2 or more days, there are accommodations near the hospital.

Our "baby" sister Carolie will be here the week of January 19; help is needed starting the following week, January 26. We expect this need to continue for the foreseeable future.

If you believe you can help fill this need, please email your contact information to Janet at pennjl@comcast.net. Of course, if you are not able to help your prayers for this need will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all of you in advance.

  1. I would absolutely LOVE to go down and stay with Donna! But, I cannot. I live in Wirtz,Va. and have no transportation down or back up. Donna, I want you to know I would really love being with you, and am sorry I cannot do it.
    But me not being down there doesn't mean I'm not with you....in the love that we have shared and still share.

  2. Hey Donna,

    Have you ate today? Did you get up and walk? Have you sat up in the chair today? Come on, you can do this!!! Okay?? You know what you would have told me..."put on your big girl panties, and do it"!! Hee-Hee!!

    Just thought I'd send you a little extra love and a small push along to keep on fighting to rebuild your strength.

    I love you bunches and bunches!!

  3. Hi Donna! I am soooo sorry - I forgot to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! on my other comments! Shame shame on me! I already knew you were special, but to be a Jan baby... so is my Mom & my husband (which are pretty special people just like you) ;0) I'm also sorry that I can't come down & sit with you, but I will pray that someone's schedule will work out that they can. You hang tough little lady. We love you.
