to say, how happy I am Bev decided to do this. Most of you already know when Donna went into Duke for her transplant, she asked Bev to watch over the blog for her until she could take over herself. Sadly, that day never came, but Bev has greatly honored Donna's wish that the blog would always be a place where people would be "uplifted." That was Donna's word -- uplifted. Bev did such a good job that even now, since Donna has gone Home to her Lord & Savior, I still come here and find comfort. Even in reading some of the harder times as I know those times have passed for Donna. And it makes me feel closer to her to be here from time to time.
Donna would never want this to be a memorial and it won't be. But she would want us to watch over each other, and check in with each other from time to time--reaching out to those who need us. That is what she did in life and I hope we are all as blessed as I think we will be to come here and share our lives together!

What a pleasant surprise. I'm not sure why I was drawn to the blog, but here I am. It's comforting to see your message. I have 23 more work days until retirement! Yahoo!
ReplyDeleteJeanette, is that you??? I am guessing because of the retirement coming? Yippee for you! You lucky girl! Hope you are doing good...jan
ReplyDeleteYes, Jan, it's me, Jeanette, that's retiring. I thought I would be spending alot of my time with Donna, but God has different plans for me. My first item of business is to go see my sister, Sheri. She will be starting her radiation theraphy on Monday April 6. She will be away from home 8 weeks. Sarabeth and I are going to Indiana May 6. This will be our new prayer request. Pray for Sheri as she continues her battle and pray for her family.
ReplyDeleteMy love goes to all of you, Jeanette
Jeanette, know that we will hold your sister up in prayer as you did so faithfully for Donna. And I know that we don't have to tell you this...but even when it seems He isn't there, lean on God, he will sustain and carry you in ways you never even imagined. Please let Sheri know we will keep her in prayer throughout, and let us know how she is doing. I am so sorry your family is going through this. Love, jan and the family...
