    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!

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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 for the update Stringer. You really are a gem.

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

    I was thinking about a plant, again I would want to check with Jamie first though.

    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.

    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.

    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,
