Hi Mary, Thank you, I have received the three hand made afghan for toddlers and the print vinyl for families with small children. Thank you, Florence Running Wolf

Dear Mary Reinhart and staff, I received a box from you, because my name was submitted to you. My mother passed away on June 18, 2006 and I received the box shortly before or after that time. Could you please tell me who submitted my name? I believe it might be Maria Hillenbrand who sings in the choir with me at Saint Priscilla's Parish here in Chicago, Illinois. I would like to send her a thank-you and want to make sure that she was the one who submitted my name. If Maria wasn't the one who submitted my name, I would like to also know that. Thank you very much for all the work you and your staff do to comfort people during a difficult time. God bless you all. Sincerely, Christine Zarek

I received the box of school supplies today, as did my neighbor. Thanks so much--I see you sent for Taylor, too. Anything we do not use will be given out to kids in need in our neighborhood or sent back to you to use for others. My neighbor also is very grateful. The 4 younger ones are busy sorting through the items and picking out who gets which. The neighbors got some "boy" stuff so are trading with Duane for the unisex items. Boxes came at just the right time, too. We had just had the lights go off due to a power outage so it kept the kids busy for a couple of hours till they came back on. Sue T in FL

To all the online Angels, Thank you for the package. On a yet another sad day it brought me comfort. On my purse I attached the 4 beaded crosses, the white cloth angel pin, the foam angel and the crochet butterfly. I will carry their love with me where ever I go! The love bug, butterfly card, angel wings card, ribbon cross, and foam cross I am attaching magnets, placing them on my fridge as a reminder of all you Online Angels with hearts of gold. The foam dad book marker I am placing inside a frame along side a picture of Mike and his kids! One day may you all receive wings of gold from the hands of God! thanks, The family of Michael Like Linda Like

Hi Paula...I got my boxes today...and please fwd this message. THANK YOU SO MUCH ANGELS! My son is now excitd about school. It starts monday, and he happily looked through his box of goodies and is anxious to head back. His teacher (Only 40, married with 2 kids 2 and 4) was going to be teaching the whole class 5th grade this year (He wanted to take his students with him from 4th to 5th) and tyler was soooo excited. Well, he passed away on August 1st and tyler is really sad about that. It is so heartbreaking. This made his day a little brighter and he is a little more excited about heading back to school now.

School supplies for Truax/Baker family received with many thanks!!

Hello. I just wanted to thank you all for the wonderful things you have given to my family. I really appreciate them. You are truly angels and you are doing such a great thing for people who really need the help. Thank you so much!!! *HUGS* God Bless!! Love~ The Schwenk/Nissley family. Both families love their gifts. Thanks for helping.

Mary Reinhart, We just wanted to send you a quick e-mail to let you know we received the package of clothes you sent. Thank you for your kindness!!! To give you an idea of our census, we have an average of about 30-35 deliveries monthly. Each mom and babe gets a “going home bundle”. In this bundle are some of the basic need items – diapers, lotion, shampoo, onsies, an outfit, socks, blanket, hat, etc. When we get donations such as yours we try to give them out right away. THANK-YOU once again for thinking of us!! Pine Ridge OB dept. Stella Hanson, RN

Tammy received her box today, we went down to check on her and she was in tears. she said to thank all the Online Angels for their work and kindness and Thank Jesus for such a wonderful, special mission. She just couldn't express her feelings she was so comforted. So on behalf of her, a BIG THANK YOU!! to everyone. Sarah

My Mom just called me saying she received the love box. She was so thrilled. Said she had no idea there were so many different things that were in the box. She's said she put the angel on her night stand and looks it before going to bed each night and prayes for all the o-line angels. Thank you so much for sending it to her . Losing her only sister was very hard on her. Mary W.Va

Back in February, I won a flowerghan thru the OA raffle, and gave it to mom as a birthday gift. She was using it today as a lapghan, and had it with her when I took her to the dining room for dinner. She got so many compliments on the ghan-everyone asked where she got it (residents and their family members alike). I was soooo proud to brag about my "angels" and how all the squares were made by different people. They were so impressed with the concept of the "loveghan" and complimented the beautiful craftsmanship of each square. I was just bursting with pride. It is such a beautiful "work of art", and mom is so proud to be the owner of an "original OA flowerghan". Ladies, you can be proud of your work. I'm always crochetting when I'm there, and the staff is always asking me about the group, and what I'm making. I am proud to be a member of this group!!! Hugs, Maria

dear,mary (online Angels) i want to say thank you for the gifts that i have gotten they are wonderful and i am thankful for even being in the program because, this mean alot to people...and most of all i want to say thank you for the computer from Allysa Kelly

Dear Mary, I have been trying to get a thank you out to the online angels for the wonderful box, and my e-mails keep being returned. Finally I called Ginger and she gave me your e-mail. I sure hope this makes it or I will have Ginger send it. Thanks, Lucy Dear Online Angels, Words cannot express the feelings that over came us when we opened the box and found the beautiful love-ghan / laprobe, angels, crosses, butterfly and the little monkey. A thank you seems so inadequate. You are all definitely angels and spreading much love. The love-ghan will be a great comfort to Ron when the weather gets cold. Thanks also for all your prayers. God Bless each of you for all your love, caring and sharing. Ron and Lucy Allen

a note from my daughter about a box that was sent to her coworker. "she loved the pkg and sleeps with the quilt every night.""She is very thankful." Another heart we've touched and I'm sure it will help her thru the remaining days her mom has left with usk. Lucille :-)

My Mom asked me to thank everyone for the beautiful gifts that were made for her, She has a floor reading lamp and she has 1 angel hanging on the turn off knob. She has another one pinned to her curatin and a cross and heart pinned to her curtain. She is in a wheel chair and didn't have a lapghan , but now thanks to the Anges on here she does. She is very pleased. She told me she wanted to cry when she saw everything but was afraid to. Bless her heart she is so frail right now. Mary in WV

My sister was so surprised and delighted with the loveghan you sent. Thank you so much. She had been having a particularly bad day and when the package arrived and she opened it she wrapped herself up and felt all of the hugs. She was so overwhelmed by the thought that women who do not even know her sent her something like this, that she couldn't stop crying. Thank you to everyone who helps make this project work. ..Peggy

Mary, a great big thank you for the loveghan for my brother & sil - she was thrilled with it - I really appreciate you sending it. Joyce in La.

Dearest Mary, Thank you, thank you the lovegan arrived for my mom. I will be taking it to her tomorrow. Really it came on Tuesday but I am just checking my e-mail. God Bless. Theresa Kaisner

Dear Online Angels, I want to say I'm so sorry its taken so long to write and thank you for all the lovely things you sent. I also want to thank the person who admitted my name, it meant alot to me. I've been through so much seems like the last two years. I had to have surgery on my left shoulder and I was away from home for over 3 months. My Dad was diagnosed with lung cancer in June 8 2005 and he passed away August 27th of 2005. My husband's mother passed away this past May and worst of all for me I lost my Mom August 23rd of this year. She wasn't only my Mom she was my best friend. I miss her so much. I still have my good days and bad days. It really meant alot when I received your package. The afghan is just beautiful and I keep in the living room in case I get cold I have something I can keep me warm. Your ministry is a tremendous help to others because I know it helped me. It gave me something to smile about. Just keep up the good work and remember me in your prayers, and I most assuredly will be praying for your ministry. thanks for everything. Mrs. Linda Brock

Mary, A great big "Thank You" goes out to you and your group. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2001 and again in 2006. This time it's been really hard to handle all the treatments and surgery. It made my day when I received the gifts from your organization. The loveghan is beautiful, how did you know what color to send, it matches my reading room prefect. The bookmarkers, crotched angels and everything else in the box was wonderful. My husband and I shed tears of joy over what other people do to help with hardships of illnesses. Again, "THANK YOU" so very much! We will be sending items up to you to help with other boxes in the next few months. I hope this will repay for what was sent to me. Lori Kloepper
