Thank you very much for the loveghan, angel, and crosses. I cried so much when I opened the box and read your letter and saw what was sent to our family. The thoughtfulness of your organization is wonderful. I'm so thankful to the person who gave you our name. I sit with the afghan from you just about every day. It makes me remember your group's kindness at the most horrible time in our lives. Tha angel and crosses are on pictures of Adam on our table. I will always remember your kindness and compassion. I thank God that the world has people like you. Mary Federwitz

Thank you so much for the receiving blankets and beautiful crocheted blankets. We love to use pretty blankets and hats on our babies. They keep the little ones warm and make them look so cute. The parents love having something they can take home with them. Your kindness is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Maureen Morley, RN

Jennifer recieved her box today. She was so pleased and surprised. I hadn't told her I requested one. She admired each individual piece and ended up curled on the couch with the beautiful afghan hugging her close. She had been real sad and quiet today. I got to see first hand what your boxes mean to the recipent. It's a wonderful experience. Thank you so much, Linda

Betty Carelli received her loveghan on Tuesday this week. She called last night and left me a voicemail saying it was the beautifullist afghan she ever received and said thank you very much. Kind regards, Robin Moro

Dear Online Angels, Yesterday afternoon the fedex man delivered a large box to me. When I opened it ,saw the gorgeous loveghan, bookmarks, pins, butterflies and hearts, the tears just poured out. You don't even know me yet you reached out to me at one of the more devastating times of my life. I miss my Dad so,so much and will be losing Mom in a matter of a couple of weeks. She is in the final stages of liver disease. My family knows our Dad was a very strong Christians and is with Jesus and all the friends and family who have gone before them, just waiting for Mom to enter Heaven's gates ,too. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love and prayers that went into the loveghan that I already cling to like a security blanket.You are truly angels in every sense of the word. May God wrap you in His loving arms as you continue to minister to others. Thank you for allowing Him to work through you. Many Blessings, Leslie

I wish to thank you and the online Angels for all your prayers and thoguhts and all the love and work that went into the box that was sent to me. I took the box over to my mother in laws house to share the love and friendship that Judy has with the Online Angels. Thank you. Sincerely, Paul

I appreciate the efforts and thougths that went into the afghan and other items that the online angels sent after my husband died. thank you Dorothy Somer

Thank you from the Dennis Family

Mary, My MIL received the blanket for my FIL and she wants me to thank you and the OA Angels. She was pretty choked with emotion and very surprised. They just never expected that sort of love from strangers. She is taking the loveghan to my FIL for his bed. He is still out but she put the phone to his ear and my husband talked to him and she said tears came out of his eyes!!!! So to me that means he is still there despite what the drs. say! They are not smarter than God! so please keep praying for him and the family. He was moved to a care home today so lets pray that he will be comfortable in the coming weeks no matter what the end is. Thank you for all the love and prayers it means a lot and it makes me proud to be a part of a wonderful group. I felt so good telling her the box came from a group I BELONG to...ONLINE ANGELS! Ang

Jo-Ellen Gibson was so excited when she got her box. Maggie

We just wanted to express our thanks again for your thoughtful gesture in sending the clothing and thinking of our family. We can't begin to count the amount of people it helped. It is so nice to know that there are still wonderful people in the world! God bless you & yours! Wendy & Bob

Hey Mary, Hope you are having a wonderful Holiday season!!! Just wanted to let you know that the box you sent to my friend's parents, the Richards, arrived last week and they were so flabbergasted, to say the least. Mr. Richards to the angels and hung one in every room AND one in his car so he would always be surrounded by angels. He will NOT put down the blanket and he won't share it either, LOL. Thanks so much for all you do, you are such a blessing. Jenn Le Roy

Mary , My daughter in law just called me that Fed-Ex just delivered her box. She was crying with joy. She said it reminded her of her Mom that she just lost because her Mom use to make afghans. And she told to say a BIG THANKS to everyone and she loved everything. Mary - Wv

Mary, the package arrived today, Keith was very surprised and quite pleased. Thank you very much. It's not often a person can be touched so deeply in their life by "strangers" in such a personal way. Thanks again. Kathy

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful package sent to our daughter Sara (the package said "Sue"). Sara is 14 years old, but she was born with a very rare chromosomal abnormality, which has caused her to be in a wheelchair. Even though she is 14, she functions like an 8 or 9 month old baby. She can't walk, talk, or even understand when you talk to her. But, she's very happy and joyful almost all the time. She's like having a happy, bouncy baby around, that just doesn't grow up. She's been a blessing to our family. And your package to her was a blessing as well! I absolutely LOVE the quilt that was made for her-- it's beautiful! There were precious handmade slippers, a cross in a pocket, a prayer cloth, a crocheted (or knit?) angel, a beautifully made hot pink shawl, a friendship pin, and activity books. (Sara's not able to use the activity books, so I gave them to her sisters who were VERY excited to receive them!) What a wonderful group of people you must be - to spend your free time lovingly creating such beautiful and precious things for others. May Heavenly Father bless each person who donates their time, money or talents to your wonderful charity. Tracy Keeney Kansas City, Missouri

Dearest Mary and "Angels". It has taken me a couple of days to send this e-mail after receiving the loveghan I received along with the handmade items that were also in the package. 11 months ago I chose to quit my job to be with my mother after she was diagnosed with lung cancer. On January 1st, 2007 my dear sweet mother passed away unexpectedly. I cannot tell you how heavy my heart is and that I miss her so, so much. Having spending everyday of the week with her. To the person who ask that one be sent to me I thank you from the bottom of my heart and to think that someone thinks that much of me makes my heart filled with such graditude. It is going to take a great deal of time for me to get over my grieve but with Angels such as yourselves it makes it a little easier. The loveghan is the most beautiful thing I think I have ever seen, so from a grateful heart I thank you. I ask everyone to cherish and love your family and each other unconditionly for you never know what Our Heavenly Father has in store for us. God Bless all of you. Theresa Kaisner P.S. Mary I kept my mothers loveghan she loved it so much I wanted to keep it with me.

Just wanted to say thank you for sending the care package. Everything is beautiful and will bring us much comfort. We know that our little Angel is in a much better place now and she will always be looking over us and everyone who prayed for her. God Bless, Rob and Tina Long

I just received the most beautiful love-ghan I have ever seen- It reminds me of Joseph’s coat of many colors that had so much love from his father in it. I took it to my niece who has breast cancer that has spread to her brain, liver and lungs. She lost her mom- my sister during her first round of cancer. She got to go home yesterday after almost a month of hospitalization. Home health care and hospice are at her house and they couldn’t believe how kind your group is. My niece Wendy is just 36 years old and a mom to two daughters- your selfless act of love will show this family that people care. This cancer has been isolating and it is so comforting to know that there are people who are Jesus with skin on- angels that are watching over. We humbly thank you for your generosity and it was so good to see the twinkle in my niece’s eyes when she realized someone did this for her. Many blessing on your ministry and may each hand that worked on all the delightful things feel God’s warm presence today. Love, Janet Hall

Thank you so much for the box of love from Online Angels. The box came on the day of the first memorial service. The love and overwhelming support that we have received from on cyber friends is amazing. Thank you so much for the beautiful angels, blanket, and bookmarks. The healing process is beginning and we appreciate your support. Debbie Hartley

We sent a box to Joann who just had open heart surgery...she got it today and when I called her she was crying...she asked me if I ever heard of a group called Online Angels LOL!!! I said Yuppers that's the group Im proud to be part of...she said the throw that someone made was beautiful and that she was so very touched that the group sent it to her...she said oh there's a little key chain with the name Sarah on it...I said oh That's my Sarah I bet...LOL...she was so very touched and wanted me to say thank you for really blessing her today...she sounded so good on the phone it was a nice change from the past few days where she has been down and depressed and feeling very badly... Thank you Online Angels and thank you Mary! Rhonda

Dear Angels, Stewart "Rusty" asked me to write to you ladies and thank you for the throw, the prayer cloth and the crocheted angel. A very pleasant, unexpected surprise. You ladies sure do beautiful work! Not just crocheting, but God's as well. It really impressed him to think that people he doesn't know would care so much. Thank you and God Bless. Rusty and Lorene

Dear On-Line Angels, Receiving your most unique and toucing gift brought a tear to my eye...but also a smile to my face. What a kind & loving thing to do for someone You don't even know. Just thinking of all the time & love spent on our family & sent to our home was so touching. Thank you for bringing a spark of brightness to our day. It's nice to know there are really angels among us! Your thoughtfulness during the tragic loss of our Son will always be remembered..and deeply appreciated. With Love, The Family of Chris D'Emilio

Hi Mary, I wanted to let you know that Juan Carlos and Maria received their box and were *extremely* touched by it. They both cried (happy tears) when they received it. Thank you for being able to bring a little bit of happiness to them in the midst of such suffering! God Bless, Dawn

Dear Online Angels, What a wonderful surprise to find a large box from you on the door step to our workshop. I had just said on Tuesday evening at the Baby Threads meeting that we needed more hats, receiving blankets, and onesies. I guess the angels are truly watching over us because this box was full of all of the things I had just wished for. Thank you to all who made these wonderful items for us. They will be put into our layette bags and delivered to hospitals and pregnancy centers for mothers who need them. Sincerely, Bonnie L. Champagne Co-director Baby Threads

Mary: My aunt bob just called me and she was overjoyed with the items you sent. She said she will get a ty note off to you asap. Thank you so much it meant so much to her and cheered her up immensly. Your angel sister, Mary Kingry
