4. Thank you, everybody...and thanks for the recommendations...

I want everyone to see what Tucker has to say.

She is dying with grace...

And she appreciates our presence.

5. k and r Peg

This is a very sad k and r.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. I hear you, my dear cwydro...

I posted my thread with a heavy heart too...

But I felt compelled because I wanted folks to know what's happening to her...

Thank you, sweetie...

:hug:

[flvegan]

7. Thank you for posting this.

Because of you, this will get proper attention.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Ah, you're too kind, my dear flvegan...

She is greatly loved...

If I hadn't done this, someone else surely would have...

But, still, I thank you.

[flvegan]

9. Yes but "someone else" may not have garnered the attention you will.

And for that, I'm grateful. She's a personal friend. Real life and everything.

So, thanks.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. How lucky that you know her...

Really know her...

That is so good, for both of you.

[abq e streeter]

10. Thank you Peggy...I had not seen that.

My eyes are welling up once again, and I want to say something again to her but words feel so inadequate.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. She really does appreciate anything you say...she truly does...

I hear you, though...this one hit me harder than her first thread.

:hug:

[abq e streeter]

13. Thanks---this one hit me harder too

I just posted on the thread you provided the link for, and told her that for what it may or may not be worth, I am praying for her.

14. K&R You have such a good heart California Peggy

I'm trying to find the words to write that might comfort her. What an incredible woman she is, how brave. It's all so heartbreaking. But it was very kind of you to bring to the members attention. Thank you for doing that.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Thank you, my dear girl_interrupted...

I know that a lot of members don't go in the Lounge...

I don't understand why, but I just wanted to do something, anything, for her.

This was it.

I cried for a hour after reading that thread. But, I'm glad I did read it & respond. AlienGirl, my friends, is what courage looks like. I don't think I will ever measure up to the strength of Tucker.

May she have a easier path now than she has in the past.

[Little Star]

23. And I forgot,

Thanks Peggy! Typical of you doing trying to do the right thing always. That's why you are so loved around here by everyone.

way too young.
And she is showing such true courage.

[LongTomH]

36. Thank you for sharing this!

I can only send my own agnostic prayers to AlienGirl and hope and pray her passing is easy. Like most on this board, I've lost many of my own Best Beloved to cancer,

[Parker CA]
