Thank You Page 11

Dear Mary Reinhart, I want to thank you for the gift you sent me. I love it and my little ice box angels. I was in the Dr. office and I met Mrs. Georgia Bland and she was telling me about the Online Angels. She said she would get her daughter to get in touch with you all. I was so surprised when FedEx arrived to me thank you again & God bless you. I will have to get you some granny squares made up and send to you. Again thank you Mary for your kindness. Beatrice Dommert

The Fed Ex man just came to the door - rang the intercom and left a package. Huge box filled with articles pertaining to angels and our Lord. A beautiful crocheted love-ghan and prayer cards and little items you couldn't begin to imagine. I don't know who it came from just the company that it was sent from. I am in tears, for someone went way out of their way to send me a package. Please let me know who you are so I can say thank you to you and if your reading this and it's you, you don't know how much this means. I am overwhelmed. Nancy Ann & the Scottish Clan

Hi Mary, Thank you so very much for the loveghan box you sent over here to Patty Robinson. I wasn't there when she received it and haven't seen her since, buy have heard back that she was very moved and so very thankful to receive it. I've been told that she got a little teary, and was just blown away that people on the other side of the world would care about her and her daughter and the loss of their home and beloved dogs. Once again, thank you so very much. Your generosity and kindness have restored many people's faith in human kindness here. We get so tired of hearing in the news about the bad things that happen...robbery, violent crimes...but rarely hear of people giving from their hearts. I have completed crochetting a number of granny squares for your group and am in the process of trying to learn how to join them to make an afghan. If I'm not successful in learning this by the time your project comes up in May, I will send just the squares along with some quilts I have already made for Online Angels. Kindest regards, Jane in rural Australia

Dear Online Angels, My husband & I thank you for the big wonderful package of hugs & the love & prayers, our FedEx deliverer noted that. The angels & crosses, poems, & verses & the beautiful afghan with every square different color & stitches are like loving arms wrapped around me & my husband, who is ready to meet the Lord. Thank you, thank you, In Christ, June & Gene Wright P.S. It is my duather who had contacted you online. I will start collecting things to send to you ANGELS!!

To Online Angels, Thank you very much for the lovely afghan that my husband received while in nursing home! And there were quite a few little angels! that cheered him up! He asked me to forward a donation (25.00) to you! Please continue the good work! Sincerely, Regina Petrutis (Nora Awalt's Mom)

I just wanted to say thank you. everything was beautiful and it really picked up my spirits when I needed a lift. if you can please pass this message to whoever sent in my name I would appreciate it. Laura White

Hi Mary Just got Noah's package today from on line angels, that was very sweet, thank you, Noah will love cuddling up with his blanket, and he love books , and bears, Thanks for signeing him up. I did not include the rest of her note as it contained some personal information on her family. I know how very much this means to both Noah and his family. They have alot of struggles so any "love" shown them is so appreciated! Noah's Mom

Zack says thank you to everyone! He is feeling like he is loved despite what some kids are saying to him. He has had several crying times because of other kids teasing him about his "twitching". Kids can be so cruel and this was certainly something that said to Zack someone (other than "just" Mom and Dad) loves you. He says he can hardly wait to cuddle up with his new "blanket". Many thanks from both Larry and I. Our words reguarding his worth and his being loved only go so far. This has ment a great deal to Zack and to our family as well. You are all Angels in our eyes. Love and Hugs, The Monks

Dear Online Angels, Thank you so much for the beautiful love-ghan/laprobe and gifts. It was a total surprise and came on a day that was really rough. It definitely brightened my day. If it is possible, I would like to know who submitted my name so that I may thank them personally. If not, I hope they know how much it meant to me. It has been a rough eight weeks since our daughter passed away. We know that it will take a long time for things to really return to some semblance of normal. Again, thank you so very much. Vicki Leedom

Mary, My mom received her package yesterday and was elated. Her and my dad set down together and enjoyed all the neat little items that were enclosed. Thank you! It was a welcomed sight to see and hear a little happiness in her voice. Glenda

Online Angels, Thank you so much for the beautiful afghan and the bookmarks and angels. They were all greatly appreciated comforting to know that someone out in cyber-space is thinking about us. Love to you all, Betty Davis

Dear Mary, Hi! Thank you very much for all the things you sent me it is very greatly appreciated! God bless you all, Wilda & family

Thank you for the quilt you sent to her. She had it on after she died and in the days before. It was the spot of bright color in that dreary room. And all the angels were there with her, all the things you sent. D Ruffing

Thank you for the afghan for Wendell Meade...It was well received. Janice

Mary, Thank you for the lovely afghan and many beautiful angels. and the mug..I was upstairs sleeping and didnt hear anyone at the door. I was so surprised THANK YOU from the bottom on my heart. Now we gotta meet for lunch, gotta meet this nice lady. I will do whatever I can to be of help to this group, I want to give to others in the need as I have been. If I can ease the pain in just one person (such as this group as done for me) I shall ever be happy with myself. Will keep in touch..thanks again..Love gladys..

Just heard from my MIL (Lucille Peters Reffett) and she was so so touched by everyone's kindness in sending her a Lovebox when her sister died a while back. She had no idea where it came from. She was in tears and said that she cherishes every single item in there. Cyndi in FL

Dear Angels, my Sunday School teacher was really thrilled to get her box, it did surprise her and it made her day. She wanted me to relay this message to you all and she is reallly grateful for the box, she said it was really nice and had some really nice things in it that cheered her up thanks again you are wonderful group to take out time for someone else thanks alot again and may God Bless all of you.

I finally talked to Linda Wilcox. She was the one who's daughter died from overdose.. She let me know that the boys are still cuddling with the love ghan when they start thinking of thier mom. She said to thank everyone very much for bringing the boys such comfort. Also..My mother talked to June Zeller. My mother forgot all about the box being sent..She finally remembered and June said she wondered who had done such a wonderful thing. She was amazed at how bueatiful the loveghan was and all the work that had gone into sending her a box. She asked my mom to please say many thanks for her.. June is not doing very well. The family is very concerned..please keep both of these families in your prayers.. Kathy P

Mary - Your box arrived here in great time. I do apologize however for taking so long to reply. Momma was really tickled with it and appreciates it so much. She is doing much better - getting up more each day. She has even done some crocheting - not much - but every little bit helps her. Thank you again and all your "online angels" - you did make someone feel better. Stacey

Just wanted to send a special Thank you. Ryan's Easter box just arrived at the door. Thank You ladies so much.... Amy

To all the wonderful people who sent cards and gifts to cheer up Wyatt on his birthday, I want to say thank you again and to share the letter of gratitude that Wyatt's mother asked me to send to you. As you can see, your gifts of love have really touched a small boy and his family deeply. :-) -Catharine

This BLESSING was delivered ~ a day early, and my mom was absolutely THRILLED. Thank you so very much. Louise

Dear Angels, Thank you for the beautiful hats and blankets we recently received for our NICU babies. Community Medical Center has been a recipient in the past of your wonderful creations that certainly helps to show our babies how special they are! Please continue your worthwhile efforts and Happy Easter to all! NICU STAFF Kathy Wills

Peggy wanted me to tell you how wonderful Jake's Easter box is...Both her and Roger said to thank you and the Angel's, as they could never have gotten him all that you did. Sharon

Mary, Sorry for not sending a Thank you from the boys sooner. They so appreciate the Easter Box (which they are not allowed to touch until Sunday). Things are very tight here right now and no end in sight at this time. I have been busy with dealing with landlord and well people( we need a new well), so my actual time on-line (actually in front of the computer) has been very limited. I am going to try to get some squares or hats made soon as my Mom has some yarn for me to use for that purpose. She saves all the yarn that is left from her baby afghans and sweaters that she knits. She said she didn't know what she was going to do with it, and I offered to take it off her hands. I would go nuts if I didn't have my knitting or crocheting to do (I do a lot of waiting in doctors offices), I have not heard from any of the families that I added to the list, except the Kane family. The asked me to send a Huge Thank you on their behalf. The Mom was so grateful and so surprised that someone would do this for her kids. Again, Thank you to all who made things a bit brighter for the boys this Easter! Mary M

Thank you so much for the box, as I did not expect it. I have felt more love and caring from the group than I have my family and friends that live close by. I really appreciate the group and all they do. Thanks again! It looks like I'm headed back to the DR. as I'm having a hard time breathing in without intense pain, waiting to see what the morning brings. Jeanette

Dear Online Angels Group, I am writing on behalf of my son Charlie. I just wanted to send a big Thank You for the wonderful box of gifts. It was such a nice surprise and greatly appreciated! Charlie will certainly enjoy all of the goodies! Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Sincerely, Stacy and Charlie Lonergan

I received your packages for Avery late last week. Thank you both for your kindness. Her grandparents will be very appreciative. Melissa

Dear Angels, Thank you so very much for the beautiful love-ghan & angels that were sent to mother. It sure was nice to see a smile on her face. It's a relief to know that there are special people (angels) out there who try to bring joy & comfort to others whose lives have been in such turmoil over the illness of a loved one. Thanks so very much may God bless each and every one of you. The Archie Sanborn Family Family of Ella May Sanborn

Dear Mary, Thank you so much for the wonderful items you sent for the Klamath Falls Gospel Mission Project. I'm sure they will brighten the lives of many. Quilty hugs & purrs, Ginney Massey

Dear Mary, Thank you so much for the generous donation of hats & scarves to our chemotherapy patients. The colors and vaiety have been unbelievable! Our patients have thouroughly enjoyed selecting the right color & style for them. Again, thank you and your group for your generous donation of time & talent in bringing our patients a gorgous selection of headware! Sincerely, Kerri

Thank you so very very much for sending a love-ghan to David, that means more to us than you can possibly know. If I can ever be of any assistance, please let me know. Respectfully Yours, Suzanne Zajewski

Thanks to all the online-angels for the wonder, awe and delight I heard in my daughter's voice when she called to tell me she had received a package from online-angels. You turned her "bad" day into a day of "Thanksgiving". Your stitches of love, care and concern created a beautiful loveghan with a message of hope and encouragement that will be treasured. Thank you for giving this gift of love to my daughter. God bless each of you online-angels. Sincerely, Mary McLain

I would also like to thank you for the box you sent to my daughter. I just can't put into words what it did to lift her spirits. She has not put down the blanket you sent and she keeps all the other "goodies" in her little purse and it is usually by her side. She even took them to school and told her friends all about how she has gotten this package from "Angels" who love her. Thank you from the both of us. Robin

My MIL and FIL was sent a loveghan box back over a year ago when he was first diagnosed. When we went to their home after the funeral- there was the afghan on the back of the chair he alway sat in. My MIL said that he used it constantly in his last few months to help keep him warm after his chemo treatments. She said she would treasure it forever and to thank you and Online Angels for your loving gift when one was needed the most. You are truely Angels! Hugz Lora J in NC

I love the afghan I just received from you! It is absolutely beautiful! It came when I was having a bad day & really cheered me up! It amazes me that strangers would do such a kind & sweet thing! Keep me in your prayers. with love, Melinda

I love the beautiful lap quilt! Many thanks go out to you all. You are such a unique group and you make so many people feel better by thinking of them in such a giving & special way. May God bless you! Love, Joy Hoyle

Online Angels, I want to give you a big thank you for the Easter box you sent to my Grandson Jacob. He was a very happy boy on Easter morning. He said that was the best Easter basket the bunny has ever brought to him. Thank you again!!!! Peggy Box

When I found the Online Angels site, I requested a loveghan for her. Online Angels sent her a loveghan and some goodies this week and it uplifted her spirits. I am very thankful to each of the Online Angels for their response. Thank you very much for the prayers and items you sent. I pray that God will bless each of you. Many thanks, Mary McLain

We sent a family a box for Easter, it came when the mom was at work and the girls were home. any way so the mom let them open it when she got home. the girl called me on the phone and I all most cried. they said mom said you are one of the angels. thank you for the box for Easter. we love you and thank the other angels. they were so happy. their dad is not seeing them let he was when he left. and he was not with them for Easter. they say the little one cries all the time for him. but that made them happy thank you Emma

I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful loveghan you sent to me. It came just when I needed it most. I'm not feeling real great today. You managed to really make my day. And the little gifts you sent to, I love the button poem. Thank you so much you are such wonderful people. Thank You Lisa

Dear Angels I can't thank you enough for the wonderful box that arrived today here in NICU at St. Joseph's Hospital in London. Ontario. We were overwhelmed with your generosity and thoughtfullness. You are all angels. The blankets were so colourful and will brighten up a little cot and I know will be loved by the siblings of our babies. My favorite was the wee white angel nest . It was just so perfect for our micro-prems that become angels. I know presenting them to their parents in that will be just perfect. Those are the days that are hardest for us as nurses, but your thoughtfullness will make it easier not only for the families but for our nursing staff as well. Thanks again for thinking of us. It really is a comfort knowing that you are out there for us. Hugs, Sue Stewart

Hi Mary and all, Just wanted to let you know I heard from Livingston County Helping Hands yesterday. They were thrilled to get the box and wanted your address to send a thank you. I know they are really swamped right now so I said I would thank the group on their behalf. They were so happy to get the baby things and toiletries. Ashley

Mary, we are just home from the hospital where our Jessie Kim had the surgery to put the pins in her jaw to create a lower jaw. these will remain in for minimum of four months and must be turned twice daily to make the ribgraft come out and form a lower jaw for her. when we got home a beautiful box was here. we just opened it and gave our children the gifts enclosed with all your love. to quote my 9 yr old i will "OH MOM THESE PEOPLE ARE SO NICE. WHAT CAN WE DO FOR THEM? THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. HOW DO WE THANK THEM AND THEY ARE EVEN PRAYING FOR US" (spoken by MaKenzie Tolin. Thank you ALL. there is one little correction-our children are NOT foster children they are ALL adopted and we are truly blessed by God and also by Online Angels. thank you all so much on behalf of all His children. Sue Tolin

Hello Mary, Thank you for sending boxes to all the Pals at www.postpals.co.uk they all loved them, James' sister has writen this and wanted me to forward it to you. hello online - angels how are you? i am philippa read, james' twin sister. thnaks for the blanket it is sooo good, and also thanks for the skipping rope, the bunny badge, the pen and all the other bits. take care thanks sgain Philippa

I just wanted to let you know how much a loveghan means to the recipient. I asked if you could send one to my mom on the fiftieth anniversary of her marriage to my dad. (He entered the hospital last year on their forty-ninth anniversary and died six weeks later.) When it arrived, she was surprised and a little taken aback, that people who didn't know us would send her something so neat out of the kindness of their hearts. At the time, she looked at it, then folded it up. Now, as the first anniversary of Dad's death approaches, I notice that she has it on the back of the chair where she usually sits to watch TV. When she lies down for a nap, that is what she grabs to throw over herself. I explained what it represented and I think she "gets it" now and appreciates it even more than when it showed up back in March. I'm really happy that I can return the favor to another family by sending you some six inch squares for another loveghan! Lisa D in PA

I want to say THANK YOU so much for all the knitted items that your Love gave to me when I was so low. I Thank Christ for each loving stitch. The colors remind me of the life to come. Again THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE IN CHRIST FOR ME!!! In Him, Don Smith

Hi Mary just want to thank you ever so much. my husband just loved the blanket and the crosses and the angel pin and everything. he was really taken back. thank you so much. I will try to do more squares for you. somedays this RESD etc. doesn't let up but I keep plugging away. again thank you from the bottom of my heart. thanks you patty

Hi Mary and bless you! I got a call from Sue Bumgardner today. She was in tears and said that she knew I was responsible for this. By the way,it arrived a day early. She said everything is beautiful and in bright colors which she loves.There was a red angel ( her favorite color )and it has a place of honor in her bedroom. Her husband also cried.They are Christians but for some reason could not believe anyone would do this. Thanks for the love and happiness! Bless, Patti Nolan in KY

just wanted to thank you angels out there for all you do in helping make this such a wonderful caring group....A few months ago I asked for a box for my daughters father in law....he was diagnosed with terminal cancer...well when he got the box he was so overwhelmed with the love and caring...and he just wept...He was so grateful for the box and proudly displayed all his goodies. Well, last night Jeff went home to be with the Lord...tho we all are truly saddened by the loss of this wonderful man, we know that he is no longer suffering and in a much better place. So on behalf of the family...thank you so much for touching the life of this wonderful man with such loving care. Hugs,Neecey

Thank you so much for having the card shower for my Mom while she was hospitalized. She received so many cards and was so surprised that my friends were sending her mail. Again, thanks for coming thru with the prayers and cards. They lifted her spirits. Carol B

Hello Mary, i thought i would let you know what a couple of our parents said, Matty's mum was thrilled with the quilt and said it was really beautiful, and Simon's dad (both simon and his dad have been in hospital with pneumonia) said "received a lovely patchwork quilt and a few toys in a parcel from the US last week for Simon, really cheered him up. Took it to hospital with him." So a big thank you from me on behalf of all the kids (and everyone who you help) Best Wishes Viks

Mary, Please let everyone know that I appreciate the love that went into my gift. May God bless each of you with his love and care. In Christian love, Nancy Haber

Words cannot express how grateful we are for your kindness. Wyatt is enjoying all the wonderful things you sent. Please know that you have made a difference in one little boys life--the word "angel" is an understatement!! With kind regards and thank you. Wyatt
