I received an email from Chery's daughter, Jamie this morning. Chery is in the hospital, she has broken her hip. She will be operated on tomorrow. She is presently receiving blood transfusions. This is all the information that I have presently.

I would like everyone that knows and loves her and those that don't yet to please offer your prayers for this long time AMHD member, a great lady and our dear friend.

Get better Chery!

Stringer

Get better soon chery!

Regards
redhed35.

Best wishes chery :)

Hi, Stringer!

Thanks for the information! She's already been through so much and now this!

I will keep her in my prayers!

Thanks!

Thank you, I hope that more see this thread, she can use all their good wishes and prayers.

I'm sure that more will, Stringer. But, we might need to let certain ones know that have interacted with her on this site.

Thanks!

Hi! Chery,

Wishing you a speedy recovery.
You are in my thought's, and prayer's.

KUXJ... :)

I'm sure that more will, Stringer. But, we might need to let certain ones know that have interacted with her on this site.

Thanks!

I have PMed a few Clough, I was going to PM you however you saw this thread.

I pray that she is OK, she has a heart of gold and is a good friend to me and many more here. She has proven to be an asset with AMHD in many ways.

Yes, Chery really is a sweetheart in a number of ways!

Thanks!

Chery
My thoughts are with you as they've been for so long. Get well soon.


Stringer I posted a link to this thread on chery's other thread so people will see it.

Good going there, friend4u178!

Thanks!

Good going there, friend4u178!

Thanks!

I agree, M, smart move, I didn't think of that, thank you.

Stringer

Oh wow, I'm sorry to hear that.

Unfortunately I have not had the honor of Meeting Chery.
I have read a few of her older posts while browsing the forum and can tell she is a sweet, caring lady.

I wish her a speedy recovery, sounds like the last thing she needs with her other troubles.

Your in my thoughts Chery.
Get better and come back to us.

Just found the thread... Aww, thanks Stringer for starting it. (And thanks for Jamie for reporting it)

Best wishes of "Get Well Soon" Chery! :) Be strong lady :)

I never got the chance to know her that well. I wish I did and I regret not getting to. She will be in my prayers and has been for awhile.

Hey Sweet Chery Love,
You are so much a part of each of us! I am praying for you and the doctors as well. I know you are Jamie and Alex's world, you sweet "OMA"! You have become part of each of our world's here and personally. You give so much of yourself. Thank you for giving your friendship to me and so many others. You are a beautiful person. I love you! Prayers are going up for you Love!

Hey Rebbie! It's been quite some time! Hope that you're good :)

Hey Sweet Unky! It has been awhile. Things have been a little rough around the edges in my world for awhile but you all are on my mind and I do pop in when I can. Hope things are going well for you. I miss all of you!

Glad to hear a little from you to! :) I hope things will get better from your side of the world! Missed you too :)

This is an update from Jamie, Chery's daughter that I received a few minutes ago:

Hi Lloyd&Marta,

Mom made it out of surgery, the next few days are the critical part. She'll be able to stand and walk with the new hip. Excuse me but I'm very tired and I need to put Alex to bed. I'll keep sending updates until she's home and doing better."

Take care,
Jaime&Alex

I must admit Cheery is one hell of a fighter!!
She just keeps on hanging in there.

Hang in there love, you are an angel!

We miss you around here!

I must admit Cheery is one hell of a fighter !!!
She just keeps on hanging in there.

Isn't she though. Wish I had all that strength and fortitude that she excels in... Go Chery !

Much love and hope to you, Chery.

Hope you have a speedy and relatively painless recovery!

I am sorry that I haven't had the chance to meet Chery, but I read the "For our sweet Chery" thread in Member Discussions the other day and was struck by her courageous spirit.

Chery, your in my thoughts and prayers, too.

Hi, All!

I hope that someone with contact information for her will be willing and able to forward things on this thread to Chery!

Thanks!

HI Clough.

I have send Jamie an email asking how long Chery is expected to be in the hospital and if it will be for some time then could I get the address so we could send a card or something?

Stringer

LOTS OF LOVE CHERY! I am hoping you recover quickly and easily! XXOO

HI Clough.

Stringer

Hey, Stringer!

Putting a card together and sending it sounds like a great idea! I think that I know of a way so that anyone here can even put their real signature on it, if that's what they might want to do.

Even sending flowers or a plant would be a good gesture, too! But, I do think that it would be easier to coordinate the effort and pay for something like a card.

Thanks!

More messages from Jamie:


"She is out of ICU and doing good. She keeps slipping in and out but that's the medication. I think by next week she should be her old self... It is so great to have friends that really care for her."

Jaime



"Mom made it out of surgery, the next few days are the critical part. She'll be able to stand and walk with the new hip. Excuse me but I'm very tired and I need to put Alex to bed. I'll keep sending updates until she's home and doing better."

Take care,
Jaime&Alex





"She can be up to 14 days in the hospital. So, sending a card or something is better to send it to her address. I check on Larry daily and check her mail, plus I'll be their more often getting the apartment cleaned and renovated before she comes home. She is still in ICU but was able to talk a little."

Jaime & Alex



I have to leave for an appointment now, will be back later.

Stringer

How did I miss this thread?

Momma C, I miss you and you're in my prayers.

Speedy recovery and keep fighting.

Love you dear Chery, so very much.

Thanks for the update Stringer! :)

Thanks for the update Stringer! :)

You are welcome Unky, I will post any emails that I receive from Chery's daughter.

Ok see if you guys like this plan.

I have Chery's address so Marta and I will buy Chery a very nice 'Precious Moments' sculpture, something about 6" to 9: tall, something beautiful, saying 'We love you." Along with a very nice get well card and ship everything right away.

She is scheduled to be released from the hospital in about 10 to 11 days and Jamie suggested that we send it to her (Chery) home. And I know that it will take at least 6 - 8 days to arrive in Germany.

If you would like your name on the card please list your name in this thread and I will add it to the card for Chery.

Time is of the essence and this seems to make sense and is a lot easier....

Please let me know and put your name here. I would like to get it in the mail by this weekend.

I could also make some kind of arrangement/s to have flowers delivered to her home in addition to the present and card.

Stringer

I would love to have my name on the card. Think she'll only know me as Synnen, though.

Count me in Stringer, I'd love to be on the card. :)

Great, give me the name that you know that she will recognize, I intend to send it this Saturday so please list your name before then.

Any more who wish to partake?

Stringer

Id like to add my name to the well wishers as well please stringer :)

Could you add me too Stringer.

Hope she feels better soon.
Hope Chery finds peace.

Thanks guys.

Please keep them coming...

Stringer... she will recognize my real name. I would like you to add my real name please!
Also, if you do end up sending flowers, I would gladly send a little to help with that! HUGS

Thank you my friend, Chery is a treasure M, this is just something to let her know that we feel this way. :)

Stringer, I would like my name added to the card as well.

Chery is a beautiful person and have missed her not being around us for a long time it seems.

Hope she recovers well, and that she gets better and that she is in the best care.

Sweet Stringer! Please add my name to that card as well. You and Marta are two of the most thoughtful people I have ever known. Chery will be so thrilled. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of this wonderful gift.

Hey Jan,
How are you dear?

Hey Jan,

Hey starty, :D!

Hi, All!

As I've mentioned previously, there might be a way for us all to add our real signatures to a card.

Thanks!

Good evening my friend, please explain?

Hi, Stringer!

The signatures could be scanned in and added as attachments. They could also be generated using a site like the following one:

Online Personal Signature Maker - MyLiveSignature - Free Personal Signature Generator, Email Signatures, Blog Signature (http://www.mylivesignature.com/)

Thanks!

Very interesting Clough, then how can you get all the signatures on on page/card?

Someone would have to cut and paste them, by using the computer or by hand.

Thanks!

My signature using that site is attached. Or, maybe it will show up in the body of this post.

Don't know...

Thanks!

Wow... sounds good buddy, but more work that I would have time for... I tried it though and it works, good site selection.

I would be willing to put the things together for the card Stringer, if you would be willing to do the printing.

My printer is basically done for... I have to rely on others for help with printing things.

Some of the others might also be willing to help...

If everyone wants to do this and you can collect all their signatures and get it to me I would be willing to print it out and send the card to Chery Clough. But, I have to get it together and in the mail by this Saturday in order to get it to her so she will have it and the gift when she gets home...

One more...

I realize that my signature looks a bit dorky because I was using my mouse to write it. I'm sure that others can come up with better ideas...

What could possibly be on the signatures would be the actual signature and then a.k.a, Stringer, Clough, jrebel etc.

If people still would like to remain anonymous, like not be so revealing on this thread, they could put their signature on an attached document that wouldn't be visible when people do searches for things on the Internet.

We only live once and only have so much time... and this is a chance to make one of our sisters feel good! :)

Best to grab the opportunities while we have them!

Thanks!

I am not that computer literate as you well know Clough, you would have to get it all together and then get it to me so I can print it out and send it on time.

Going back to bed... cigarette break is over... ha ha...

I'm trying to put my signature into a Word document to attach to a post here, as an example.

Am treading on thin ice, because this isn't my computer but the property of the owner of the home where I'm house and dog sitting.

We really can put things together, it just depends on what, when and how people are going to submit things.

Signatures, words, sentences of get well, images, etc. are things that people might want to submit.

I will be more than happy to put something together with the submissions, but people do need to get them to me, via posting them on or attaching them to this thread, pronto!

Thanks!

Like this clough...

There you go, Michael!

It looks beautiful!

When I'm on my own computer, I'll put all of what anyone has posted together in the form of a card!

Thanks!

Stringer do you want a card made with everyone's name?
Let me have a full list and I will see what I can make.. :)

I could email it to you and you could send it to Chery.

EDIT:::
Just noticed Clough;s post offering to do the same thing..
We can always send more than one :)

Yes, even more than one would be good, and we can also work on things together here!

Thanks!

Here's an idea... :)

What do you think Clough, was this what you had in mind?

Something like that would probably be easier to put together than what I was proposing, firmy!

I just was looking for it to be really personal with the actual signatures. But, what you're proposing would seem to be fine!

Great work there!

It's a group thing and consensus here that's most important...

Thanks!

I would still go for personal, good idea Clough.

Especially if it is handmade.. all the more better.
Makes it more special. :)

Well, if people would contrbute their signatures here, in a timely fashion, such a thing might work.

I'm glad that you're also on this, firmy!

Thanks!

Hey guys,
I wasn't here yesterday and I just caught up on this. I would love my name to be put on her card. I don't know her super well yet but I plan to be here a long time. I am sure we will learn more of each other when she is well. Please use 88Sunflower. I am sure she wouldn't know my real name.

Stringer I will gladly send some money your way for this cost. For real. I can paypal it over and you would have it today. Please let me know.

Sooooo, what do I need to do, if anything to get a sig on her card... LOL you guys are on top of it! Hugs

Hi Starty! :)

Ok, then add me on the list too! :)

No money is necessary Sunny, but thanks.

Ok, I just created that in GIMP (a tool like Paint)

I honestly don't have the time to make a signature all fancy.

If you could just sign my name in red, that would be fine with me.

I honestly don't have the time to make a signature all fancy.

You got it.

I agree with Synnen. Just my user name and that's fine. I trust you.

I agree with Synnen. Just my user name and thats fine. I trust you.

You should.

Ditto for me, but I want sparkles on my name. ;)

Well, the only thing is that I doubt the sparkles will move on the card... except if that's an e-card.

Stringer or Clough, you can use this for me, but if you have a problem with it just hand write me on the card somewhere... Thanks, Steve

Pix Info:
320x240 5k .jpg

Hey, that's nicely done KUXJ! :)

Stringer or Clough, you can use this for me, but if you have a problem with it just hand write me on the card somewhere.....Thanks, Steve

Thanks Steve, will do.

Hey, that's nicely done KUXJ! :)Thanks Unky. I notice though, the older I get, the shakier my handwriting gets. I have 2 score, and 1year on you :)

FYI, and instructions for anyone else...

If you have a scanner, write what you want, scan it, save to "my pictures"
If you have a digital camera take a pix of it, download to "my pictures"

I used picasa3 to warm it up, and apply the fade effect, but any image program could do the same.

Then I used XnView to re-size to 320x240, so it wouldn't be a burden to Stringer or Clough when they went to work with it. It went from 39k to 5k when I re-sized it. Again, any image program that can re-size will work.

that reminds me....( memory kinda goes too) I'm going back to add the pix info

Stringer,
I would add some sparkles or glitter and lots of colour on the card, because that is how I see Chery.

Hope you will be able to add some.

Chery,

I send my best wishes I do hope you get better soon. I wish you the best on your road to recovery once the ball starts rolling

Even printing out this thread and sending it to Chery would, I'm sure make her feel better!

I'm also really impressed with what firmy can do!

I am not that computer literate as I have said many times. I would be content to purchase a very nice 'get well' card and write each person's name in that card along with the gift for Chery. But I have to admit that there are some great ideas in my thread... I am impressed.

So, if someone will take all the names that were posted here and can do something with them with a program and post it, I would be delighted to print that out and enclose it in the card to Chery.

Also, Clough, your idea of printing out this thread and sending it to Chery might also be a great idea (possibly in addition to the signatures/names) . Chery would be able to see first hand what has been expressed by our members and her friends.

Whatca think?

Stringer

Hi, Stinger!

I would suggest waiting and seeing what firmy might have in mind. I really liked what she posted earlier!

Do you use Microsoft Word?

Thanks!

Yep.

Okay. Let's see what firmy is using. Perhaps she might be willing to format a card that could be attached to this thread.

I'll be willing to help out in any way that I can. I'm also using Microsoft Word.

K... but I would like to get this in the mail by tomorrow or this Monday at the latest Clough, due to the delivery time.

Well, you could start by printing out this thread...

If I was on my own computer, I would attempt a card with the names and attach it to this thread.

Thanks!

Hi Clough,Stringer,
Adding a new version of a card.

I used Paint.Net,
Needkarma recommended it as a free download from the web for editing etc.

I'm sure she will be delighted.

Thank you.

If you can think of anyone who would like to put their name on the card, could you PM them, I have sent a few PMs and will add names as they reply.

I don't think all members who knew Chery have seen this thread yet.

I've been out in the yard all day, and didn't see the request for help until a few hours ago. I got as far as this:

I don't know Chery, and I'm very sad for the lack of knowledge, but if you all are her friend then she must be an incredible woman and I wish her the very best that anyone or anything can give give. All my prayers are with her.

I don't know Chery but I will add her to my list of prayers.
She must be great to have so many loving and caring.
That's why I am hooked on this place... so much love and realness and goodness .
You all rock!

I agree with you. I am very glad that Catsmine found this place. :)

I can only imagine how great a Lady Chery is to inspire so much caring and sharing.

I want to thank everyone for posting your name/s to the card that Firm is so graciously putting together for Chery. And for everyone's input and great suggestions.

The important thing is that Chery gets this when she arrives home from the hospital which is in Germany.

So timing is important, I'll wait until this Monday morning to ship the gift, flowers and the card so if anyone else would like to list their name you will have tonight through Sunday night to do so, please do.

Knowing Chery, this will blow her away and it will make her very happy that she has so many friends that truly care about her.

Bless you all.

Beautiful, firmbeliever. Very well put together <3 ;)

Personally Firm I love the hearts, thanks they add a nice touch.

I still waiting, I'll continue tomorrow though.

That's beautiful, keep the hearts!!

Yes,like the hearts,they pop likecrazy on my screen,but I assume its just my screen...

Loving the card... great job.

I can't believe I missed this thread! I am so saddened by this news. I remember waiting by her (in cyberspace) for her grandson to be born. I remember getting the news of her cancer.

She is very near and dear to my heart.

Cher, I love you and I miss you. I am hoping that you get well soon, and that the doctors better listen to you and what you want. Not what they think is right for you.

Yes, yes, me too! ordinaryguy, aka Cowboy

What a fine bunch of folks Chery has for friends. If the friends we attract is an indication of our character, I'd say Chery's a queen.

For firm, and Stringer...

Firm, keep the hearts.

Stringer, I added a link to my UDT thread, in case some of those viewers don't know.

Hi, firmy!

Outstanding job on the card! Just a slight correction, it's jrebel7 not "17" on the end.

Thanks!

Thanks for pointing that out, I thought I had written jrebel7. :)

Thank you all, Stringer, Firmy, Clough! Thanks to you, we've gathered such a list of names! :) I'm looking forward to when Chery will receive the card! :) :)

Thanks Unky, your name has been revised, forgot to PM :)

Stringer,
What time is it there and when do you want me to email the card to you?

It's OK Firmy. I knew you changed it right after you posted the current list of members on the card :)

Sunday 19.00 here. Stringer should be in the 11.00 hours now, or so.

Thanks Unky,
I am waiting to put in the last names (if there are any more) and add the finishing touches to the card.

Almost done,
Still waiting in case there are some who may want to add their names.

Thanks Unky, your name has been revised, forgot to PM :)

Stringer,
What time is it there and when do you want me to email the card to you?

I am on Central time Firm, ir is1:15 Pm presently.

Yes if you can email it to me that would be fine. I will PM you with my email address. :)

So if you can email it to me by this evening say by midnight my time that would work.

Thanks,

Stringer

Outstanding Job Firmy , well done :)

Yes, outstanding job, firmy! :)

It's almost midnight, Stringer!

Did you receive the card yet?

Thanks!

Yes, outstanding job, firmy! :)

It's almost midnight, Stringer!

Yes I did, Firm did a great job of it. And thanks to everyone for participating.

Off to sleep now.

I'm glad that you received it! That and doing this for Chery is really cool! :)

Thanks!

Best wishes, Chery. Get well soon,
I haven't been in here recently and just now saw this!
I think it's great to see so many doing so much for someone like Chery!

Well, the AMHD members card and the gift are off and in the mail. I think that Chery will be delighted.

I am slightly worried though, I realize that Jamie (Chery's daughter) has a lot going on right now, I have emailed her a couple times in the last three/four days and I haven't received a response. I hope that all is going well.

Cher and Jaime remain in my thoughts and prayers. I'll try to get a hold of Jaime on my Facebook and make sure things are okay.

Cher and Jaime remain in my thoughts and prayers. I'll try to get a hold of Jaime on my facebook and make sure things are okay.

Thank you J, please let us know.

If I hear anything I will also.

Will do Stringer. I've been friends with Chery and Jaime since Jamie was expecting Alexander. Cher has been so strong through this. I remember her stroke, that was very hard on Jaime. I'm hoping Jaime is getting a little rest.

I'm just getting around to reading some of this. I only had a brief brush with Chery when I was still a newbie. I wish her the best and send prayers up for her and her family.

Chery has taken a break from AMHD to devote what time she has left to her family. She is truly a strong and loving woman. I will be forever changed to have known her.

I've heard so many great things about her and knew she was absent due to illness (as well as a couple other well known members). It's understandable that AMHD takes a backseat to real life. I think we have a wonderful group of people here that really reaches out to one another. I've been on the receiving end of that love.

Chery has lung cancer. She has lived almost a year longer than expected. She is a strong woman, and has gone against conventional medical treatment. Her doctor knows her well and respects her wishes.

It's been almost two years since she suffered her stroke. It took a long time for her to recover from that, but Jaime (her daughter)was right by her side, step-by-step, and got her back home again.

I'll keep you posted if I hear anything from Jaime, and you do the same. I'm sure one of us will hear something soon.

I'll keep you posted if I hear anything from Jaime, and you do the same. I'm sure one of us will hear something soon.

I don't want to bother her, I know that she is very occupied but I will try to email her again this evening. I'll keep you posted.

I don't want to bother her, I know that she is very occupied but I will try to email her again this evening. I'll keep you posted.

Please do. I'll check my Facebook later as well. There was nothing on her page since the 24th, so I'm sure she is busy.

I have to admit something, something I told Chery long ago.

When she stopped coming to AMHD she would email me regularly. Often times I'd read the email and not respond. I was trying to distance myself.

She reminds me so much of my mom. The fact that she has cancer to boot, it hit too close to home. I didn't want to let her in because I knew I'd lose her, I was too afraid.

I wrote her a long email about it. True to Chery nature, she understood, sent me her strength, her love, everything that she has in her. It should have been the other way around, but she held me up, even though she's the one that's falling.

I love her, plain and simple. She's a wonderful lady. It's true, the good ones always have the worst time of it. At least I know I'll live a long time, I'm nowhere near good. ;)

Please Stringer, or J, since you're in contact with Jaime, tell her how much her mother means to me, to all of us. She is a bright start, the cream of the crop.

Darnit, tears, again. Will this ever end?

I'll tell Jaime Alty, don't you worry.

Cher and I got to talking one day and found that she has "roots" where my husband was from in Kentucky, after that, we just bonded like mother and daughter.

She would not read her email from strangers unless it had a certain word in the subject line, then she knew it was from a friend.

Do not cry Alty, you know Chery wouldn't want that. She'd get mad at you for blubbering.

Yes, she would.

She just has that mom gene, mom to all, and a great one at that. Jaime is both lucky and unlucky, because losing Chery will be so hard. This I know, sadly, first hand.

I hope Jaime decides to join AMHD, I think she'll need the support.

Thanks J, you made me smile. :)

Glad I made you smile Alty. My SIL went to germany a few years ago, sadly I had not yet met Chery or I would have had them get together. They would have had a fabulous time.

Well Germany is where I was born, where my mom was raised from birth and my dad since the war. He was born in Hungary. :)

The fact that Chery is in Germany makes her that much more like my mom. My mom actually died in Germany, three days after we arrived for a visit.

Okay, what's wrong with me? This thread isn't about me, sorry everyone. :(

Update:

I got a message from Jaime and she said that Chery will be in the hospital for another 2 weeks.

She did not go into any more detail. Stringer, I hope you got a little more info than I did.

Thanks J.

I received an email this morning about 4:30 AM from her, Chery has pneumonia. Please put her in all our prayers.

Hi Lloyd,

"Sorry, I've been very busy with cleaning the apartment and seeing Mom each day. She has pneumonia and will be staying two more weeks in the hospital. She is depressed that she can't write you all."

Oh, no!! That's not good considering her cancer and lung capacity!!

They are definitely in my prayers.

Chery and her family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh that news makes my heart sink. Still in my thoughts Chery! Please get better and come home soon.

Its strange that this site brings people together in the way it does...

Its being a very short time since starby died,and now chery is struggling,although I did not know these women,its amazing the feeling of warmth that they have brought to the people who did know them here...

My thoughts are with chery and her family and also the good friends she made here.

That sounds no good :( Chery, be strong!

You're in my prayers :)

Thanks J and Stringer for the update!
Don't worry Alty, I understand, and please, don't feel guilty of posting here. I'm sure Stringer too will understand :)

Hugs everyone! :)

Yup Red, it's been some time I've been knowing Starby and Chery too... Starby passed away a while ago about a month now... Chery's been fighting for a long time... but I feel like it's been years that we know each other.

I remember one particular email from Chery wherein she wished me a happy new year months in advance because she was told she would not live that long. That was almost a year ago now.

Chery is a fighter!!

I do not know chery personally, but I have good feelings about her full recovery.
Have comfort in knowing that she is in God's hands here on earth or not.
Hugs and kisses, chery!

Any updates?



.

Get well, Chery. It's been so long since you told me to keep my head up, and now I've been dating the most wonderful man now for 10 months. We miss your sweet soul, brightens this place up!

Below is an email that I sent to Jamie in response to her email saying that Chery has pneumonia, then her response:

"Thank you Jamie,"

"So sorry hearing that Chery has pneumonia. Chery is indeed fortunate to have a caring daughter as you are,

We mailed a little gift and card to Chery's home yesterday via US Mail, please keep an eye out for it. She may enjoy it.

The last thing in the world that I want is to bother you, sorry I was just getting a little worried. Please keep me updated when you can.

Bless you,"

Lloyd & Marta

Jamie's response:

"Hi Lloyd & Marta,"

"No, don't be sorry! It's truly a blessing for Mom that she has such caring and loving friends.

I'll be on the look-out for the gift and card."

Take care,
Jaime & Alex

I am in the process of sending flowers from all of us also...

Stringer

Thanks for the update, Stringer!

Also, God's Blessings to you for all that you're doing and have done concerning this!

Thanks!

I was just fortune to have contact with Jamie Clough, I did nothing that anyone else here would have done if given the opportunity, but thank you. You all are great!

Still have family visiting, I am run down, going to bed, they leave for Pittsburgh tomorrow, I'll talk to you later.

Stringer

I tried calling you earlier, Stringer.

Did you get my messages?

Thanks!

I tried calling you earlier, Stringer.

Did you get my messages?

Thanks!

Yes, I just listened, I'll be 'up against it' until Tuesday my friend, too much activity going on presently. :) I can settle down then... we'll talk soon. I wasn't home all day.

Stringer

Yes, I just listened, I'll be 'up against it' until Tuesday my friend, too much activity going on presently. :) I can settle down then.....we'll talk soon. I wasn't home all day.

Stringer

Okay...

I have something happening on this coming Friday, about which I would appreciate some advice. But, I guess that it can wait...

Perhaps I can be as brave as Chery has been...

Thanks!

I don't know Chery, but I am sending good thoughts her way. I hope that she's doing better.

Update: I received this, this morning from Jamie:

Hi Lloyd,

"I do believe we are 6-8 hrs ahead. No special hours on calling she's in her room day and night. I got the package and brought it to her already, thank you. She has the angel sitting on a shelf in her room and absolutely loves it."

Talk to you later.
Jaime

I want to thank everyone for everything that you have done and all your love and concern for Chery. I am sure that she has a tear of joy in her eye.

I will try to post a picture of the 'angel' that was sent later today or tomorrow as I have a very busy day today. The picture actually does not do justice to the angel, it was beautiful as was the card with everyone's name and our wish for her to get well.

Jamie gave me the phone number for Chery while she is in the hospital, I will try to call later today. And I will send all your love and best wishes. I'll let you all know. After I talk with her, I will ask if I can give the number to anyone else. I am concerned with her energy levels.

Thank you again Firm.

Stringer

And thank you Stringer! :)

Thank you, Stringer.

I hope it helps her to know that she has touched people she hasn't even met. :)

I really admire her spirit and that her daughter obviously shares it. They are in my prayers.

I was also about to send flowers from all of us, so I emailed Jamie to get her opinion. I wanted to make sure that this was a good idea, allergies, etc.

Jamie said that Chery really doesn't care for cut flowers, so I didn't send them.

Thank you so much Stringer. You my dear are an angel. :)

Thank you so much Stringer. You my dear are an angel. :)

Thank you for the update Stringer. You really are a gem.

If Chery doesn't care for cut flowers, what about a dish garden?

J, what is a 'dish garden?'

You've seen 'em Stringer... You just didn't realize it. ;)

DISH GARDEN - This arrangement is most seen in florists. Many plants grown together to be used indoors for a focal point of greenery.

If there are any flowers, they're always of the cut variety, and placed in the arraignment.

European Dish Garden
This is very much like creating a planted container, except all the plants remain in their own containers.
They are quick, interchangeable, seasonal, and easy to make. And, they perk up anyone's day.

Step one: Select a shallow saucer about three inches in depth and about 12 - 14 inches in diameter. Step two: Sprinkle a little charcoal on the bottom. This keeps the soil, water, and materials from getting sour. Step three: Decide on three to four green foliage plants with the same light and watering requirements. All in about 3 - 4 inch pots. Some trailing, some full. Step four: Arrange the plants to show contrast. Step five: Add some blooming plants in four inch pots or fresh cut stems in water vials. Pack with sphagnum moss. Keep moss moist. Step six: For interest, add natural gravel or a colorful side bow.

European dish gardens are meant to be bright and colorful. They can be kept fresh by merely changing the cut flowers or changing out the blooming pots.

Thanks Stringer. I knew you were a great man! XXOO
Chery, you are in my thoughts all the time, love you

Thanks Stringer. I knew you were a great man! XXOO
Chery, you are in my thoughts all the time, love you

Anyone would have done it Start, but thank you. :)

I received this at 3:43 AM this morning from Jamie:

"As soon as the special bed and mattress is delivered and the other things (chair and table) then she can come home. It could be in a week or two. She has pain in her left shoulder and the doc's are trying everything in order to prevent it from breaking, too."

Jaime

I've again asked Jamie to tell Chery that we all love her and want her to be happy and be without pain. And of course, we miss her very much.

Stringer

That's very sweet of you to do all of that Stringer, and I'm glad that she's going to be coming home!

Thanks!

Got some GREAT news today, Chery is going home from the hospital and she sounds 'spunky!' That's her fighting spirit... gotta love that gal. :):):)

"It looks like Mom will be coming home this week and the stuff , bed etc. will be delivered, too. She had her stitches pulled today and can't wait to go home. I'll let you know or Mom can tell you later."

Keep in touch,
Jaime

Thank you my friend, she is worth this and so much more.

I look forward to the time that she returns to this site! She's really needed and missed around here! Her being gone has created quite a void here!

Thanks!

I agree Clough, however even before she went into the hospital this time her time was very limited by her health condition. She has very little energy now.

Hopefully this will change God willing.

There is always HOPE! :)

After all, she is a FIGHTER and has continued on this long!

Thanks!

Thanks for the new Stringer!
GO Chery... GO!! :)
