cstucke80 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Marti I am sorry your husband is ill. Hoping that he will soon be back to good health. I want to Thank everyone for the support and generosity to our family to help see her wish come true. Hoping for more time with her as long as she does not suffer any more than she has. Right now she is and has been in a lot of pain like others has been through the same thing I am sure. Watching her suffer is hard. I can hardly wait till I see her and present her with everyone's support and generosity. It is hard to express the feeling this is given to me. From the bottom of my heart Thank you all very much.

cstucke80 Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Thank you Jenn, Cathy, and Tracey for the prayers, warm thoughts, and the offer to help us with the quilts. I am so Thankful to have everyone helping me out to give Sherry and our family this memory. I am going to just treat this like one of our sister quilting vacations. Not thinking about it being our last one but just our quilting time with Sherry. She has always lived so far away we were not able to see each other every year or more than once a year. We would meet at one of our homes and the dining room would become our quilting room until it was time to go. As you know in some quilting events you ( we) get with our friends we may not always finish a project at the event due to catching up, laughing, or just plain nonsense. Well this one I hope to have all that but with every ones help that has been given, we will finish the projects ahead of us. Thank you all so much:) I have received a couple of packages today, Thank you Madelyn N and Norma H. Connie Tucker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstucke80 Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I just want to say Thank You to everyone that has offered help with strips, prayers, and or warm thoughts.

Neher-in-law5 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Wow, Connie. I didn't think they would be that fast since they weren't sent on the fastest mail bird. I hope you and Sherry have a good time enjoying just the touching of all the pretties that are coming your way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
