Let's talk about being naïve. When I first joined the colon club, this nurse Terri, responded to my first post. WOWW, people who know what they are talking about. Then this nurse Bev, answered another post, and I responded, so Bev, you must work the night shift. little did I know then 8)
Warm regards Bev,

Bev is my rock, I worry about her when we don't hear from her and just plain miss her. Bev was here when I got here and guided me and consoled me in my darkest times. Loads and loads of odes to Bev.

Truly an amazing person to reach out to people she has never known to offer support and guidance no matter what her personal situation may be. She has Ben paying it forward for as long as I have been on this forum and there is a special place saved for her when her run here is done. As mentioned by all who have responded to this post, Bez, you are truly loved and amazing. Keep it going and thanks for all you have done.
