That's What Friends Are For

Since the last post there have been some wonderful responses to our request for hats. Thank you so much to those who looked into their hearts, and closets, to offer donations. I can't wait to get them to the girls. And I'm sure we'll post some pictures of them modeling their latest millinery.

As I mentioned before, Jil -- the brave warrior in the battle against the beast -- endured quite a lengthy chemo treatment this week. A 24-hour prayer chain started for her and all others suffering from cancer was created on Facebook yesterday and as of this evening there are 105 (!) members with more than 1/2 of the hours already filled.

Wednesday was THE day. Jil (on the left) and Rhonda, her sister in solidarity, had their heads shaved. Even in the midst of this trying time, have you ever seen more beautiful faces?



If someone you know and love is battling this awful beast we call cancer, please let me know. I'll be lifting up Jil and others with cancer from 7:00 to 7:30 am every day and I'd like to pray for your loved one by name.

Thank you again for all your support and wishes for our friend. Blessings to you and all the quiet angels in your life.

  1. Hi! I noticed you mentioned this blog on Let's have a cocktail. Only when I copied the address you had posted, it didn't work (the hyphens are missing from the blog title). Or have you created another blog after this one that I didn't find? How is your friend doing?

    Kind regards,
