For all the encouragement and hope that always seemed to come in at the moments it was most needed.

[...] Marguerite had invited her medical team and just a very few close friends who had played roles in supporting her in her ordeal to come to her home as the time of her treatments came to an end. This was for the doctors, the nurses, the woman at the clinic who scheduled her appointments: she felt she owed much. She wanted to give back.

I’m so glad you bought that yarn…that we talked you into it…and that you made such a gorgeous pattern with it. Marguerite will truly be wrapped in comfort…just as I am, simply by having you as my friend. (And then there’s that beautiful shawl I have!) Red is so auspicious and absolutely perfect!
