Briefly stopping by from Gems
From Gems to Cher
copying it to RCTY for me? Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. snip For you all from Gems First of all I want to thank everyone for their kind thoughts and prayers about & for my cousin and his family. Although I didn't see him often, it is difficult to realize that I will never see him again. The funeral was very nice, and loving. His sister did the eulogy, very touching with a couple of funny memories thrown in as well. Then when we got to the gravesite (he is buried at his mother's side) the clouds opened up and the rain came down hard and fast so we all got soaked to the skin. The minister joked that Ernie was having one last laugh on us. *sad smile* Secondly, I want to wish all our Canadian friends a Happy Canada Day! And because I likely won't be online then, I want to also wish all our American friends a Happy Independence Day! And lastly, my sister phoned me yesterday and told me that my cousin (the daughter of my Aunt who passed away last year... and the one who is like a sister-cousin to me) recently found out that she has cancer. She had what they thought was a hernia in her groin, but when they took a biopsy they discovered the cancer. The main problem is that they don't know where the source of the cancer is, so they aren't positive how to treat it... but they are going to go ahead with chemo treatments anyway. She was told that she couldn't work because she will be spending too much time in treatment... and this past week she was evicted from her apartment because she couldn't afford to pay the rent. Some friends she had worked with got a bit of money together so she could get a room at a cheap hotel for a while. Her son is with her, but because the place they have to stay is further away from his workplace he hasn't been able to get to work on time a few times. Instead of understanding and helping by giving him MORE hours, they punished him by cutting his hours down a lot. So once again I am asking for good thoughts and prayer to be sent out... this time for my sister-cousin (and her son). Also this past week, Matthew's girlfriend was kicked out of her parents home. She has been staying here, until she can find (or afford to find) a place of her own. I took her to Legal Aid to get her set up with a lawyer because her mother is trying to keep her from having any visitation with her child (who they have JOINT custody of) unless it is for emergencies only. She has an appointment with the lawyer on Wednesday coming. It's been a very stressful and worrisome week, for sure! Keep well. *hugs* Gemini |

Oh, Gem,
If it isn't 1 thing, it's another. :-( I wish you the best for your sister-cousin and Matthew's girlfriend. Janise "spinninglilac" wrote in message ... From Gems to Cher copying it to RCTY for me?
