Barbara who received a loveghan this week told me that it came at the perfect time and that it made her cry because she was so touched. She's the one who had cancer before and they have found a suspicious bone lesion. She is having surgery and a biopsy on her shoulder this coming Wednesday, please pause for a quick prayer for her. She said she is going to take the afghan to the hospital with her. Thanks, Sandra in AL
Mary I can not tell you how much the loveghan meant to Sister Betty. She said thank you so so much, she is going to take Linda to her. Talk about SMALL miracles. They moved her from Jefferson to Bryn Maur, they have her sitting in a chair now for awhile. Lets keep praying. Thank you so much for what you did for me. All my love, Theresa
We received the box this morning. Thanks again and have a wonderful Christmas! Debbie
Thank you so much for sending a box for Ruth's grandkids. They'll be thrilled and so will she. I know she couldn't get them much. She's not well and I shopped for her. She do such a wonderful job I don't have words to express it. I'll let you knows when it arrives. Thanks, Linda

Good Evening/Morning!!! It's 930 here on the west coast and I am just getting the kids settled in for their long (short) winter's (night's) nap. hehe... Anyway, I just wanted to thank all the generous angels that donated Christmas items/toys/stocking stuffers/goodies that came from the North Pole (Pennsylvania) tonight. Everything is PERFECT!! I couldn't believe when I opened the boxes just how perfect the items were for each child. I was smiling from ear to ear and then some. I hope one day I will be able to sponsor a child other than my own. Love & gratitude to all! -- tracy...proud mommy to Teena, Lucas, Aaron, TJ and Timothy!!!
Hi Online Angels, Thank you, we have received the two boxes yesterday 12/20/07. One box of used children clothes, little children will make use of them. Also have received the large boxes of new winter knitted caps and gloves. children will need them for school. Many "HaHo's" thank you! Florence Running Wolf, Cheyenne Children Services
Both big boxes arrived. Ruth is amazed with so much. She had me help her sort it for the kids. She said it was more than any kid should get. She told me to thank you and TRY to tell you how much it's appreciated. We both are proud of this wonderful group, thankful to be a part of it. Ruth sent you a box lately. I have 2 ready to go. Didn't get it done this month as my MIL died Dec the 1st. We were in Mo. Most of the month. Will be going back to see his Dad Jan the 4th. He's in a Nursimg Home unaware of whats going on. You sent a box to my MIL when he got bad. She was freezly and loved the loveghan. She used it all her final months. Thank you Mary with all my heart. Linda
April recieved her box yesterday and was really happy.Thank you to all the people whe helped her out. Tammy
I delivered the box full of love to my son Joshua yesterday when I visited him at UC San Francisco. He immediately put the loveghan on his bed and started to pick our his favorite squares. It's amazing how thrilled this young bachelor was with your loving gesture. He has had his head shaved, and of course the chemo is taking all the "stubble" left from the head shaving. He continues having difficulty keeping food down, and his platelets are low. Again, thank you so much for my son's gift. Every act of kindness really touches us both. Cherylle in CA
I just received this message from Denny and told him I'd post it to the group. He is so very grateful for the box he received from O/A: The box I received from Online Angels is terrific - everything is so special. The very large and beautiful love-ghan will be put to good use now to keep me warm on front room chair where I spend days and nights. I will be getting my 4th. knee replacement on about Feb. 18th and then after 5 days in hospital I will get physical therapy and should be walking by March. I went in Hospital for 2 months with the infection and was in ICU the first week. I sure could feel the prayers from so many and this really helped pull me thru. Now with these extra prayers and angels, crosses, etc, and love-ghan I am so blessed. I am sure I will be up and walking again soon. Over three months without a knee ties you down but I am used to it. Your Online Angels are really doing a great job in showing love and giving strength to me and others. At some point I would like to repay your organization so they can help more. Your volunteers are terrific in making everything and donating them to people like me. I feel sure these online angels will be repaid with God watching over them to the fullest! God Bless, Dennis Grossman Love, <}}}>< Diana F.
Mother received her love box today. She loved it. She said the afghan colors are gorgeous. Thank you so much. Her surgery is next Monday. Thank you again, Angels! Barbara C in OR
Hello Ladies, My mom received her box a while back but I was not a member then. She cried when she opened it my Sister said and she says Thank you so much for thinking of her while she was in the hospital, she will be 97 in May. She is still very independent and does her own cleaning and cooking. Again thank you. I am looking forward to crocheting items for the groups. Mahalo, Marlene in Hawaii
I was the recipient of one of your beautiful afghans. I was lying on the couch having a pity party when I saw the FedEX man drive up. I wondered "What in the world?" I have been wrapped up in the afghan while having ice packs on my knee (total knee replacement surgery) and it being 9 degrees outside. I could feel the warmth and love you all put into it. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. In His love, Carol Wilmore
Hi Mary, Thank you for the boxes of knitted hats and mittens and gloves for the CCS families and children. Also got the stuff toys. Wishing you good year. Many thanks! Florence Running Wolf
Just want to let you all know I am home but it might be a while before I start doing things again. I need to regroup and get myself in order as I have been dealing with everything else and not me. I also want to thank you all for the lovely comfyghan and all the goodies that I received. I am sorry for not thanking you all sooner, but this past 3 weeks have been unreal with so much to cope with. Dona
My aunt received her package and through the massive tears, she called my mom with such pleasure. She then called me and told me just how much this meant to her. Her husband and her had just been sitting on their couch praying where to make a donation that God had put on their heart to make. The tv evangelists didn't hit a right note, her daughter's church didn't feel right either. About that time, someone knocked on their door with a package from Online Angels and they say their prayers were answered. She mailed a donation to this group and asked how she can help to make others feel just as special as she felt today when she received her package. Talk about God's timing! She is planning on sending things to help this group. She doesn't have the internet, but I am sure she will keep in touch with this group via the snail mail. Thanks for making her day! Sue
My aunt took my uncle the afghan at the care center he is at, and he just loves it!!! Love, Ann in Reno
Dear Mary, Yesterday I received the loveghan. It is just beautiful. I will always cherish it. Thanks all the online angels for me. Debbie really enjoyed your group and talked about different things you did. We will miss her greatly! She was a good daughter. Sincerely, Louise Castranio
Now I know (wish I didn't) first hand how it feels to received a box of love from the Angels. It arrived tonight, and my tough Marine was sniffling and trying to hold back the tears while he wrapped himself in his loveghan/laprobe. Then, when I tried to read the letter with the items, I started crying. Mike loved the cross in my pocket and said, "well now, I'll be carrying two crosses in my pocket everyday". He has a gemstone cross he's carried for almost 10 years. The bookmarks and other angels are beautiful. Thank you all so very, very much. Mike has started on his radiation and gets his first chemo treatment Friday. They say people on chemo and radiation quite often get chills. The loveghan is wonderful, and wow, it's beautiful. Thank you all so very, very much! Blessings and hugs, Sam (nickname for Sharon )
