...and the boys too... don't be sexist :)

Gaynor, Heard about this latest 'thread' today from my Lil' Cous. Have been sat here, reading through with very soggy eyes, and a lump in my throat, so big I can't swallow my stella...... I thought Jackie was a tough nut, now I know where it comes from, can't wait to catch up on the last 26 years (I've got sooooo much to tell you!) Lots of Love Big Nephew xx P.S. Have dealt with the lump and the Stella is flowing normally!

Mum, I've only just got around to reading this - sorry, you know what I'm like. All I want to say is that you don't need to worry about me. You know I'll get through this because we are so alike in so many ways. I'm here for both you and Rob - always. I love you so much and I am so proud to be your daughter. Jack XXXXXXX

Gaynor, thank you for sharing with us. It is a privilege to 'be' with you in thought. Although I cannot be with you on 16th October, I shall be often thinking of you and your family. God bless. Joy

What can I say? One very brave lady; I'm sure Rob and the children are proud of you. God bless you Gaynor, Glenys and Bob xx

oh gaynor having met you and rob on a couple of occasions ,all i can say,is that i really admire your strength and positive attitude darling i am the sort that would sit curled up in the corner.but not you.you will fight this to the end and we will be there with you ALL the way be strong sweetheart, love susie and terry xxx

I have been away fro the boards for a few days and have only just read your thread Gaynor. Like so many others words fail me. You sound so brave and up beat. I am sure in the same position I would be in pieces. My heart goes out to you and your family. I am sure that with your attitude they will cope well. I mean I bet your children have inherited some of your personality traits. And from my own experiances I know that they will help each other I the months to come. I will just finish by thanking you for being so honest and sharing your story and thoughts with everyone. I just wish I could be at the meeting on the 16th. Love and luck for the furture Jane xx

Gaynor, you are a bloody marvel. I wish I could get to the meeting on the 16th, because I would love to meet you. Can't think of anything to say, except good luck, God bless and bucketsful of love. M.

Gaynor,,,I echo each word that has been said by others, Im thinking of you and your lovely family, claire

Gaynor have just trawled through the dictionary looking for words to say and there arnt any What-ever i think of has already been said,suffice it to say sandra and i are thinking of you constantly and am really looking forward to meeting you in oct. PTFG means that positive thoughts are on there way to you, with every message i write,either on here ,chat or msn. Even some of my friends who are not on gc and dont even know you have added it. lots of love and admiration Keith and Sandra xxxxxxxx

gaynor, i'm so sorry i won't be able to make the meeting, but all my thoughts and best wishes are with you and rob at this time. keep thinking poitive you are one very brave lady. loads of love melinda xxxxx

Gaynor. Sorry I've not been around much but I'm sitting here with a huge lump in my throat and tears running down my cheeks. As I told you before Mum had Lung cancer, she was diaognosed in the march of 2001. she had 2 doses of radiotherapy for pallative care but they said that it would not be benefical to have any more as it was so close to her aorta. She had the same positive outlook as you are showing and didn't let it get her down. I can't think of anything else to say that people haven't already said. You are one hell of a lady. May God give you all the positive love that is in the world. Take care Helen

Gaynor, I hope and pray that they will come up with something during the next few months for you...how you manage to keep such a positive outlook is beyond my comprehension but this world will be a much darker place without you........ all the petty squabbling etc pales into insignificance compared to what you and your family are going thru and it puts to shame my own problems in life. Sadly I wont be able to make the October meeting but I will be there with you all in thought.... I wish I could have brushed shoulders with you....to have your focus and your strength would be enlightening.... All my love to you and yours....you are in my thoughts daily... stay positive and keep fighting!! Ally my love Jill x x

First an apology - I have seen these threads and not looked at them so have 'come in cold'. Second words fail me. Others have said, far more eloquently, everything I would lik to say. Thinking of you. bob

Gaynor, I am lost for words. You and your family are in my thoughts. Love Jill xxxx

Dear Gaynor Thank you so much for sharing all the painful details and your feelings at this difficult time. It will be an honour to meet you on 16th October, and until then just try and take strength from all the positive thoughts that are coming your way. Take care of yourself, and Rob too. Carolyn

Gaynor, I feel that my words are a bit indadequate but I would like to say that you're a special person. You have touched a lot of people on here, not through your illness but from being the person you are. Sending all my love and best wishes to you,Rob and your family. Sheila xxx

Gaynor, Words fail me, and you know thats not a common experience for me. I'm sure we'll talk this through in great detail, and you know Sharon and I are here for you anytime you need us. Just got your email (and your text earlier).. and I'm priviledged to be able to call you my friend, and so grateful that you're thinking of us at this time. I hope you don't mind but I'm borrowing a little of your strength, just for a few hours tomorrow... I'll let you have it back afterwards... and give you whats left of mine... I can't add anything else really; I'm a bit choked to be honest. All our love Paul & Sharon xxxxxx

Gaynor We've never met or spoke, but since you first told us of your health problems you've been in my thoughts and prayers and will continue to be. I'm 31 and my mum is 51 and so it's been a wakeup call to live life to the fullest and share as much time as we can with our loved ones. You truly are an inspiration to us all. I so admire your dignity through all this. I can't really add much more to what's already been said by everyone else. Joanne

Hello Gaynor, All of us that are sending you messages are just ordinary people leading ordinary lives, but we have had our lives touched by you, an extraordinary courageous lady. I hope the love and kind thoughts expressed for you will enfold you like a big warm cuddly blanket. Keeping you in my thoughts as a beacon. Love and hugs Norah xx
