Dear Jo Ann: Thank you for your report on your mom and pls. do give
us a comfty
list. Your LOVE BASKET is a great idea,
one that I am sure any one cancering would appreciate. I know your mom
must be very proud of you because you certainly are a very thoughtful, caring
and giving daughter. How about adding a wig to your basket; something
different to pick up your mom? Waiting to see that list. Thanks and
our prayers, your friend, Lillian
>God works in very appropriate ways! I was in a

many small things that made her more >confortable. Things such as
silk caps to wear on her very tender head, >special mouthwash to use
during chemo to keep down mouth sores, pills that >helped with dry mouth,
etc. My friend has compiled this list of helpful >hints and she
shares it with anyone who may need it. I will get the
list >tomorrow. > >I called home tonight

the silk caps and would get her some ASAP. I plan on making
