She has much love and many prayers from all of us, however, anything more I ca do to cheer her, would make me feel very happy. Please let me know what I could to to be an On-line Angel. Sincerely, Dorothy Szigethy

Dear Online Angels, How kind of you to send the beautiful knitted gifts to the Timothy Hill Children's Ranch. Some sweet little babies are going to be warmed, cuddled and modeling God's sweet love through you. We know every stitch was a demonstration of His love. Blessings & gratitude. Fern Hill (for all of us at Timothy Hill Ranch)

Hello Angels: My Husband Scott McBee was the recipient of a beautiful box of great handmade things from yall today. I don't think I have ever seen his face light up like it did when he opened the box.. he was almost in tears and showed it to me .. saying "I will keep this forever & this note also" I think Ashley submitted his name - he has been & still is very sick & deeply depressed. To get this , unawares, just made all the difference in the world.. Now he believes me when I tell him that folks he don't even know pray for him.. I want to thank U all- each one that sewed the Love-gan & made the angels & crosses- They were greatly appreciated. GOD Bless YOU ALL, You are doing more good than you will ever know. Thank U - Edna mcBee/aka strongheart

my boss called me at work today she was off. she said can I ask you something. are you a manber of on-line-angels. I said yes. she said thank you so much the girls are so happy. she said they thought their dad sent them something because she was not going to tell them were it came from. and then she said no I am going to tell them. but she said she had no way of going on the computer to thank you so I told her I would do it. she told me every thing she got. thank you Emma

My thanks to: Online Angels - The box they sent contained, 20 books & journals, 11 colorbooks and some markers , 23 hats, 6 toys, 1 bookmark, 6 pair slippers, 2 scarves, 6 decorative items and 16 toiletry items. What a delight it was going through all the lovely items. Thank you both very much for your support of the Klamath Falls Gospel Mission Project. I'm just overwhelmed. Quilty hugs & purrs Ginny

Thank you so much, Mary! And please thank all of your wonderful angels for me. The box for the Stormont-Vail NICU arrived today and the hats and blankets are precious. I'll be making a delivery next week. I know the nurses and parents will appreciate the thoughtfulness of Online Angels too. :) Bless you! Susan in Kansas

Hello. I want to thank you very much for the love-ghan that was sent to my family recently. It's beautiful and actually my 2 favorite colors...blue and green. Thank you to everyone for the package and the hard work that was involved. My husband recently passed away. He was only 38. He was diagnosed with leukemia almost 3 years ago, relasped last year and had a bone marrow transplant. In December he got pneumonia and his body wasn't able to fight it off. He died in January. Obviously, this was heartbreaking to both myself and my 2 sons. They are only 7 and 5 and don't understand what has happened to their world. It's very difficult. But, they also see how many people, including strangers, have reached out to us and comforted us. It's very sweet, and I feel that my children will be loving, caring adults someday who will also help those in need or those who have suffered a loss. Thank you all very much for reaching out to us. It really warms our hearts. Sincerely, Meghan, Christopher, & Connor Pratt Canaan, CT

Online Angels, To the wonderful ladies that put together my box & sent it. The love afghan & angels really lifted my spirits & made my day. The loveghan really fits the hospital bed I sleep in, & will be a blessing when I take my nap as I need to do daily. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Continue to do the good work for the love of God. I feel so blessed. Jennie Moody

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you again for the box you sent for Roberta Flores. She got it yesterday. I talked to her yesterday, and she was very excited. She's feeling OK, just very sore, and can't wait to get better. Kris

Valentine hats and six fleece blankets were delivered to the Stormont-Vail NICU yesterday along with a wonderful box of preemie blankets and hats from Online Angels. Thanks again Mary! :) Susan K. in Kansas

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I received thank you notes from Wilda White Face at Pine Ridge and from John Redbear at Standing Rock. The loveghans were received and much appreciated. Ashley

Mary and the angels, Just wanted to send a special thank you to all of you for my mother in laws lap quilt. It was very beautiful. Lance wanted me to tell you all that if there were more people in the world like you all this would be a wonderful place to live. Again thank you all for everything. Will be sending an update through in another e-mail. Amy

Hi Mary. Thanks so very much again for the beautiful yellow Loveghan you sent me for Christmas. I cherish it and I use it every night. It brings me so much warmth and comfort. I just want you to know how much it helps me and how much I appreciate it and the love which it brings to me when I am feeling down or cold. Iris

Hi Gang, Got a call tonight from Linda Burner. We sent her a box last week. She said to tell you all Thank you so much for her box! That it was a wonderful surprise and sure did make her feel special and loved. Said she had never felt that from a stranger before and it is so nice to know there are people out in the world like us who care. Thanks for bringing some sun shine into this wonderful lady's life. Hugs to you all! Tracye

Thank you Online Angels !! I returned from getting a treatment today and FED-EX pulled in my drive right after me. I was thinking to myself.. ok.. I didn't order anything. Yet here there is a package for YOU. As i sit and type this letter I have tears streaming down my face. I opened the package and just could not believe that people I do not even know took the time to make and send me something made with their very own hands with so Much Love . I can actually feel the Love and warmth that went into these items. I don't know how to thank All of you. Just know that My heart is so full Of Love and Hope right now knowing that others out there are Praying and thinking of me. God's Blessings, Kathy Langhoff

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to let you know that Tay Watts emailed me and asked me to thank all of you for the boxes we sent to her foster children. She was very appreciative of all the time and effort that went into making them possible. Ashley

Dear Mary and Online Angels, When the truck pulled up in front of my house today, I just thought a simple package had arrived. My day was the same as it has been all month, miserable. To my surprise, the box was a lovghan box sent to me, just me. I cannot tell you how the tears started to flow. I am so used to working on squares etc. to mail out to Mary, I think it keeps my sanity. I now know how everyone feels when they receive that special box showing them that they are loved and never alone. I feel special now even in my darkest hours here with the kids. Thank God for all the good people on this list. I can speakly openly to most about depression and anxiety as I too suffer from these things and have all my life. I have not left my house in just about a year now as agoraphobia has taken over. The longer I stay in, the harder it will be to get out there again. So, you see the angels are my company. I sit here and cry and wonder how other women got through all this. But, I guess this too shall pass. I just want to tell all the angels and Mary what a warm and wonderful feeling it was to receive this box. Thank you all from my heart and soul. God bless you all. Nancy L.

Hi Mary, Just wanted to tell you that Bobby received his box yesterday. He was very surprised and couldn't understand who had sent it to him, so I told him about the "wonderful on-line angels". He loves the lap blanket (and will really come in handy as he's always cold, lol). I fell in love with an angel pin that was made out of wire, so he pinned it on me ('cause he says I'm his angel) so I'm wearing it all the time, and when anybody asks me about it I tell them about the wonderful job you are doing. He went to the doctor's today, and they gave him off from work until the 15th of March, but he has to go to physical therapy next Tuesday for a job evaluation ('cause neither one of us thinks he will be able to return to his old job). Keep us in your prayers. I'll let you know what happens. Love, Marge

I am blessed to have received just yesterday the Love-ghan someone thought enough of me to request due to the loss of my brother. This gift from you all meant so much to me that I cannot find the words to express myself. I am about to go online and join your wonderful group and being making six inch squares to send for other Love-ghans you make available to people in need. I have been wishing for an outlet for some of my God given talent with a crochet hook and thru the death of my brother, He has led me to your organization. Thank you and if any further information is needed, please let me know. Sincerely, Christie Clark

Thank you....The caps you send are always very much appreciated by cancer patients so please tell your knitters a very big thank you from all of us. Ronni

To Mary & the Online Angels, Thank you for the lovely lap blanket & canvas gadgets. Wow, what a nice thing to do! It certainly made our day. Eric has been extremely sick recently-which is tramatic to begin with due to all his handicaps and medical condition-and its comforting to know that there really are people out there that do care. Your gift was both greatly appreciated, and was a huge "pick me up." Thank you, Chandra Goodway & Eric Robbins

i just wanted to tell you my cousin called me last night about the box you sent her hubby, he has prostate cancer, she said he was over whelmed when he opened it, got all teary eyed and said he could not believe you sent it him, the are chruch goers and he went over and told them about his box, he said to thank you from the bottom of his heart he is going to write a letter of thanks when he gets his internet back up, with moving from florida back to here put on hold his comp is packed away, i think his wife is sending you a donation mary, prayer really helps they think the cancer is only in the prostate and when they take it out hopefull it will be gone, thanks again, you are such a great group of ladies and gents lol shirley

Dear Mary, On behalf of Michele Glass my grand daughter who was in touch with you and helped us to get christmas gifts for our yearly senior bingo, we wish to thank you for your generous donations. They were greatly appreciated. Love & blessings, Michele's grandmother Lee Blair and special friend Jean Dastalto who also worked on this bingo thank you to all.

Mary, Online Angels, Thank you so much for the beautiful afghan & collection of crosses. It wa a pleasant surprise, and a wonderful way to have a keepsake to always remember my husband. Pat Trumbo & family

I want to thank all the Online Angels for the box & loveghan I received when my brother passed away. It brought much comfort then & continues to each time I see it. Thru this heartache in my life however, God has led me to join your group to help spread comfort. The words are true-thru tragedy a door maybe closed, but God will open a window to help you find peace. May God bless & keep you all, Christie Clark

I am so excited that a box was sent to Arkansas Children's Hospital! My son and I spent many nights there after he was diagnosed with diabetes. Even in the times when he was very ill, I was thankful that it wasn't worse. Plus, there are many kids there that can't have parents there because they have to be at work so they don't lose their jobs or else there are some kids there without parents coz the parents simply don't care to be with their children. It was good to see kids with afghans. One in ICU had one the last time we were there and it really brightened up the room. Thank you all - Angels! Ruth

I talked to my mom this morning, and she told me about the box you sent here this last week…. I had no idea of what all you did, but hopefully, she will drop you a note about what you did for her family with that box. As I told you from the AC4C list, my mom bakes cookies, takes care of my dad (who has dementia, heart problems, diabtetes) at home, by herself, and with the help of two of my brothers, she runs the ranch… cattle and two horses…. It is a small one, but a ranch just the same … Mom is a committed believer in Jesus Christ who does what she can in a day to take care of dad and her family… has done it for fifty three soon to be fifty four years. Anyway, I wanted to let you know that your package arrived. My dad was so excited about it, that Mom let him believe that it had come for him…. And together, they enjoyed the contents, the baby angel, the crosses, the message from Billy Graham, and my father, who rarely reads any more, read “The Cross in my Pocket” TWO (count them, TWO) times to my mother, who listened (in her own words) and cried…. She read the “Hugs” book to Daddy, and just replaced the “she” with “he”, and as far as she knows, Dad didn’t know the difference…. Of course he hasn’t picked it up to read for himself…. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for making my folks’ world a better place…. Mom was SURE that I had made the afghan when she saw the red, white, and blue square… the workmanship, she said, was great, and she KNEW I hadn’t done a thing on your gift, but she LOVED the colors… and just seeing the lapghan made her think of me…. It is good to know there are others out there who LOVE what we do, eh? Take care Mary Seaman aka Omakmama

Hi there Online Angels, I don't know who submitted my name for your wonderful gifts but they made me cry. I feel bad because I don't know who to personally thank. If you could tell me that I would greatly appreciate it. It is nice to know that someone thought of me when I have been feeling so "down". I have been having some medical problems. I feel like everyone has abandoned me because of my medical problems and the fact that because the doctors don't know what is wrong, I feel lost. The gifts were a wonderful surprise and I will cherish them. Thank you sooo much! Michelle Bixler

Dear Online Angels, My Husband, Earl Barrett, is a WW2 Veteran. He is 87 years old and spends alot of the day sitting in a rocking chair. He was given a wonderful lap warmer made by your group that he has used every day this winter. Tom Pender of the Elkton Vet Center gave it to him. We wanted you to know how much he has enjoyed using it. Thank you so much! Sincerely, Mrs. Myrna L. Barrett

Hello Mary and everyone! I am blessed to have so many wonderful on line friends. Friends that I have only know for a short time but feel as if I have known you forever. I have never been realy out going and never really hada friends but with you ladies on line,,,,that is an understatement. Surgery went wonderful. Total knee surgery only took 1 1/2 hours. Was standing by the bed same night, as I had to use commode. Came home Thursday and quess what I had awaiting me here. A Love-gran, I started to cry and my Mom and Daughter were stunned that you folks that I have known for such a short time would do that. I want to thank each and every one that prayed me, sent me cards, sent warm thoughts and good wishes as of course for the lovegran. I have made lap robes over the past few years for another organization here in Arizona that we donate to the Vets but do you know I never made one for my self. This one will be well cherished. Daughter set up lap top on side of bed so I can access computer when ever I need. I have to be on this CPM machine for at least 10 hours to 15 hours per day, for three weeks. It keeps my knee moving. Can you believe I have virtually no pain at all. When God does a job he does a good job. Most of my pain is the rest of my body trying to adjust to this knee knee. Such as now I stand up straight, I no longer limp and the rest of my joints do not have a clue as to what is going on. That too will pass. Yesterday my home therapist had me walk outside (already 94 degrees) with a walker and I was able to go about 3 house lengths without hurting or getting winded (also have asthma) Last night was not good night but today will concentate on doing exercise therapist wants me to do twice a day and using this machine. Had staples taken out of incision area on Monday. Now I need to lay around and crochet. Again and HUGH HUG and KISSES to all. June in Arizona

dad recieved package. just in time mom took it with her to the hospital. he came for a day and then had to go back more complications. possible surgery tomorrow just to relieve his bladder. tumor in his stomach lining. thanks Nora.

Thank You the group of Online Angels. I got a box full of things and an afghan today and I can't believe it. This has helped my week out since I have had a ruff first of week. I don't have an idea who is in this group our told you about me but this person is real special in my heart like this group. Know one know what it is like to have support behind you in a time like this. (I am still crying) i just can't believe this I usually give and don't receive, because I love to give people things and help them out. When I get squared away can I join your group too return the favor? Thank You sonuch a billion times and i will write it that many times if you want me too. All of you people are wonderfull Thanks a billion Love and Hugs Juymae If I find out who done this I will have them to keep you updated. Right now holding my own, brace is not working. I love you people you have worked so hard. Thanks a billion and God Bless all of you.

went back to work today and when Don picked me up he told me there was a big box delivered that had a blanket in it. Not only was there a beautiful loveghan there were also crosses and angels and a beautiful note from you all. Thank you all it is nice to know that someone is thinking of you in times like these. Mom's passing was so unexpected she was not in the best of health but a heart attack was the last thing we expected. One of the little angels I pinned up by my computer as it has lavender ribbon on it that will always remind me of Mom as the dress that my Step-father picked for her to wear was a beautiful lavender dress and it looked really nice on her. With love to all Barbara Shultz

To whom it may concern, Please thank the Online Angels & the very special perosn/people who submitted my name for the need of the "box of love". I truly did need it & it was a very special gift & thank you! Love, Jane, Todd, & Brittney Billig & Erik Anthony
