Hello,
First, I want to thank everyone in here that has been so supportive!!! I honestly don't think I would be coping with my Rachael's death as well as I am if it had not been for all the kind words, easing my guilt and beautiful and touching poems/stories. I am in here reading everyday!!!! It has now been a week and 4 days since I had to end her suffering and let her go to Rainbow Bridge. I still cry, but at least I can get through the day at work without showing my tears. Next, I am wondering how you properly thank the kind people around you that express their sympathy? I have discovered that I work with some very wonderful people. I've had flowers delivered and cards given to me at work. For several years, my co-workers knew that my husband and I had tried to have children with no success. As a result, they all know how much my furchildren mean to me! My cubicle at work is covered wall to wall with pictures of Rachael and Danny. Anyway, I say all that because it probably explains why my co-workers did what they did for me. I just found out this morning that a co-worker who heard me talking about trying to get a headstone for Rachael's grave site last week, started a collection at work for me to gather money to purchase it. I am just SO blessed to work with such caring people. They all seemed to understand that Rachael was more like a daughter to me!!! So, how do I thank all these kind people? Is a simple thank you card enough? Is there some poem that expresses gratitude for such understanding people? Thanks again! Still Grieving, Cheri -------------------- Rachael Ann

Hi Cheri Ann:
I'm in total agreement with DJ and Vicki.............. There is nothing like a card, with a "heartfelt sentiment" inside, telling your co-workers just how you feel about their gift of kindness; and/or DJ's comment about "Angels"......  I don't think it's "schmaltzy" at all!!! And yes..........some yummy cookies or a cake, would be just perfect.... It's wonderful to hear that you have some very loving and understanding friends at work..... God Bless you!!!! Love, Denise -------------------- Our Beloved Girl, Ernestine (AKA) "Ernie-Bird"
