I have also been constantly praying for your family - especially for Margaret. None of us can imagine this feeling, but we all want to help the only way we know how.....by praying & constantly lifting you up. And by trying to contact Justin Beiber. ;)Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12963367294289705622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-42728347857704510822011-10-16T18:59:38.730-07:002011-10-16T18:59:38.730-07:00Miss Mustard Seed posted about your story- I am so...Miss Mustard Seed posted about your story- I am so very sorry for your loss.

And that she felt so comfortable writing it there and not like she couldn't talk about Jack without making you guys sad. She obviously knows that you're all in this together, and that just shows how wonderful you all are.Jessica {Team Rasler}https://www.blogger.com/profile/03605645521225532592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-43742974672232251502011-10-09T23:44:14.304-07:002011-10-09T23:44:14.304-07:00Nice blog!! :)

I am going to draw a big blue bow on the envelope for Jack. If enough of us writing do this, Ellen's mail sorters may catch on and start looking for them. I might also use a large envelope, the kind you wouldn't have to fold your letter in. On a side note, I always wanted to meet Dixie Carter, maybe Jack has bumped in to her.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04630787358561573335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-72538835177130525312011-10-09T07:02:50.973-07:002011-10-09T07:02:50.973-07:00I hope so badly that Margaret can see this "t...I hope so badly that Margaret can see this "tiny" wish come true. I wrote Ellen, posted Lady Jennie's post on my FB page (asking others to do the same), emailed all of my contacts/friends requesting they do the same, and tweeted. I believe we can make this wish come true through the power of social media.<br /><br />I think about you and your family every day, Anna. I was an aquaintence of yours from JMU and remember going to Key West with you and a group of girls freshman year -- and the horrible phone call you received about your mother. I have never forgotten that. And I will never forget this and pray for you and your family every day.<br /><br />You are such a remarkable woman and have such a huge support group that will do anything for you. xoKristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09873037166652725481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-45456548254715781822011-10-08T21:10:39.186-07:002011-10-08T21:10:39.186-07:00I love her!
