Many blessings to you all for all you have done for me and for others like me who need these items at a crucial time in their lives. Love and much hugs and thanks, Ann Indra

Dear Mrs. Reinhart, I'm sorry to be late in thanking you for the lovely afghans and infant clothing you sent. Aprreciation was immediate, but the way days have been here, writing has been poor. The last couple of days have been good for "catch up" attempts, but unexpected events interfere. I dare say that can be saying ditto/ May our loving God give to all your group the graces each needs to live the days of 2005 in hope and love. Sincerely, Sister Rosemary

I spoke with Jennifer this afternoon & Sidney has a staph infection as well as a bowel & bladder infection. He had to have a blood transfusion last evening. It sure sounds serious for this little guy! I received a box of wonderful clothing items and a beautiful blanket from the "Angels On Line" today. What a wonderful group! It sounds like it will be at least two or more weeks before Sidney comes home, so I'll just hold on to these beautiful things for now and Hope! Thank you, Susan Lawrence Parent Outreach

Just wanted to share this event with you. Most of the evening of the eighteenth through the morning of the nineteenth I had a great deal of trouble sleeping. Well last night I laid down of the couch to watch wife swap with Teresa, covered my self with the quilt at 10:00 pm, the next thing I knew it was 12:00 o'clock. Got up took a drink of water, laid back down ready to watch the food channel, still in my quilt woke up 3 hours later. Got up once more to drink more water laid back down and slept for another hour. Each sleep was immidate and deep. Woke up feeling great, haven't had that kind of satisfying rest since this whole cancer deal started. So my dear niece, do you think the same way I'm thinking IT IS A MAGIC BLANKET??? All the prayers and loved wrapped inside it is the answer. Before I shut my eyes the last thing I remembered doing was thanking GOD for allowing me to be surrounded by so much love and encouragement. All of this has humbled me. I just wanted to share this with you because if anyone would understand it would be you. With Love and Gratitude Aunt Bernice

Hi Mary and Angels, I've just got off the phone from Mum. She's asked me to say a very big THANK YOU to all of you for the beautiful Loveghan box she just received. She said the rug in it is just beautiful and loved everything. She's going to visit Dad on Thursday and said she'll take it all down to show him. She also says thank you for all the prayers going out for Dad and herself. In her words, "Dad needs all the prayers he can get right now" and she's just amazed that so many people around the world are praying for him. A big thank you from me too. All your prayers and kind thoughts mean so much to all our family. Much love and hugs for you all, Jane in Australia :)

Thank you so much for the wonderful box of goodies that I received from you all. The alfghan is wonderful. I sleep under it every night, cause I don't have a quilt and it helps me stay warm. I am always cold with so much medicine that I have to take. God bless all of the angels, Jen

Dearest Online Angels, Yesterday my Aunt Bernice in NY opened a box from the Online Angels and I cannot tell you how happy your beautiful LoveGhan made her. She called me in Arizona last night to say "thank you" to all the Online Angels and to say that she will be in touch when she feels stronger. She sent an email to me this morning, telling me that she has not been able to sleep very well since she began her battle with cancer, but last night she wrapped up in her beautiful afghan, thought about all the love and prayers that were wrapped up in it, and she was able to sleep. She told me it was an immediate and deep sleep and that she has not been able to get that kind of satisfying rest since her cancer ordeal began. She called it her "Magic Blanket" and said that all the love and prayers wrapped inside the making of this Loveghan is the answer. She said before she shut her eyes the last thing she remembered doing was thanking GOD for allowing her to be surrounded by so much love and encouragement. All of this has humbled her and she wanted me to let you all know the peace and happiness you have brought to her with your wonderful gift. Thank you so very much for being so kind to my wonderful Aunt, I know this gift is going to make a difference, I just know she is going to be able to fight this disease now, knowing how many people are supporting her with their love and prayers. You truly are ANGELS and I love each and every one of you. Thank you. Jane Smith

Dear Online Angels, I received a colorful afghan from the Online Angels. I have been caring for my daughter, age twenty, the last seven and a half years as she continues to battle cancer. It is thoughtful people care about the caregiver. My friend told me after the blanket arrived that she had submitted my name to your organization. Sincerely, Jan Barta

Dear Mary, I just wanted to drop you a quick thank you for all that you and you team of Angels have sent us. They are great care packages and the kids and families who participate in our program are alway excited to see whats in them.

Today I received a package in the mail from The Online Angels Group. I received a gorgeous comfortghan, several bookmarks, a little knotted friendship bracelet, a cross, and magic button and a ton of love. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it, and how it lifts my spirits to know there are so many loving, caring people out there that do so much for me without ever having met me. All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you. Judy

hello Mary, What a pleasant surprise. It was very thoughtful. I really appreciate the beautiful items, that you women have made.

Online Angels, A wonderful surprise the afghan thank you so much and all that put work into it. Am home recovering doing fine. Harold Stadlberger

Mary, I wanted to let you and all of the angles know that Shirley has received her box. She wants to thank all of you for thinking of her. It couldn't have come at a better time. She was so excited to receive the ghan and other wonderful gifts. She keeps the ghan on her all the time. She is recovering from the brain surgery and is doing as well as expected. She has developed a blood clot from the surgery. She is asking if all of us would continue to keep her in our prayers. She knows that the Lord answers prays and that He is with her through this trial. Hugs, Dolores

It seems that our loveghan boxes work small miracles. Either that or the angels are smiling down on the recipiant. My aunt rec'd a box on Wednesday. We put the lapghan across the foot of her hospital bed, put 1 angel on each side of her pillow, and pinned the angel pin onto her pillow along w/a rosary. Today they took her off the respirator, and she's slowly improving. Each day since she got the box, she seems to get a little better!!! Maybe we do work small miracles!!!! Keep up the good work ladies-we really DO make a difference-I've seen it. Hugs, Maria

A great big thank you from Marlene Janca. She thought it was beautiful and loved everything that was in the box. She thought it was very thoughtful of us to think of her. Arlene Hermann

Dear Angels In behalf of my mom I want to thank all of you for the love-ghan and all of the pretty things u sent her. She was shocked today when she received her package and her love-ghan is so beautiful. She cannot believe that there are people out in cyberspace that care so much. Mom will be 93 on the 4th of Feb. and when she saw me doing things for the group, and I had her cutting out stamps she could not comprehend what this wonderful group entailed. She has her love-ghan displayed on the back of her couch, she said that she could look at the beuty of it all of the time. So on behalf of her, a very religious women all of the group will be in her daily prayers. Thanks from me also Geri

Hi Mary, I want to thank you and our angels for the beautiful loveghan, crosses and angels. I know they will be a comfort to me while I recover from my upcoming surgery. It is just what I need as I sit and work on projects for our group. Blessings to all of you, Carole/MA
