Here's my card for Rose.

[smileyj]

Ladies- you are so very wonderful! Thanks for making special cards for Aunt Rose!.

[smileyj]

I just came back form my Aunt Rose's Party. She loved each and every card. She spent time feeling each one! Unfortunately, I was late and all the cards were opened and passed around the room. I figured out some of the card makers. She was so very excited. She was overwhelmed by how beautiful they were. Aunt Rose told me she wished she could meet each one of you and thank you herself. She gave me a hug to give to all my friends.
Thanks, thanks, thanks to everyone who sent her a card you made her day very special!

[smileyj]

Aunt Rose received a few more cards. Thanks

[smileyj]

I visited with my Aunt Rose. She again asked me about the cards. Thanks for making her day extra special! She was diagnosed with bladder cancer. So is feeling down.

[smileyj]

Ladies- Each time I visit my Aunt Rose she asks about the cards. I am keeping them in her night stand drawer. I just keep exchanging them. That way she sees different ones. She is still amazed that people she doesn't know would make her cards. on a fun note.... the cow card is her favorite. it reminds her of the farm she grew up on.

Thanks... and Hugs to each and everyone who sends cards to those in need. I will try and participate more often!

[bensarmom]

Joan, so happy to hear that this brings her such joy. Honored and blessed to be able to put a smile on her face. Sue

I just wanted to let all you wonderful ladies that My dear Aunt Rose passed away this morning. You were so kind to send her 103rd birthday wishes. My sister gave me most of the wonderful cards.

[bensarmom]

Joan, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Praying for you and your family.

[smileyj]

My aunt Rose's her son had an abdominal aorta aneurism on Friday morning. he does not know that his mom has passed away. It is a lot for his children and grandchildren to handle. Please keep them in your prayers! I went to see my cousin in the ICU. he is rough. I worried about him when he finally is well enough to hear about his mom.

[smileyj]

My Aunt Rose's funeral is on Thursday! it has been a long time waiting for this day! Her son, my cousin, has been able to go to re-hab the last two days. The drs believe he will be able to attend in a wheel chair!
