Joined: May 2002 Posts: 2,152 | I think I sent Minnie a brief email, not PM, a week ago and haven't heard anything back. Maybe someone could find her daughter's logon and send her an email. I don't remember what it is.
Take care,
Eileen

Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 346 | I am at least glad to know she is OK. She sure needs some
cheering up. Those hospitals and docs can really get you down
in the dumps sometimes. I wish we could know a way to send a card
or something to her. If anyone does know an address to send a
card please pm me.
Thanks,
We are all thinking of you Minnie.
