Dearest Belle,

As saddened as I am that your journey has led you to hospice, I am hoping with all sincerity that your hospice team is a wonderful as ours was.
I found many compassionate, caring folk at the end of the phone and at our sides in a heartbeat. They are masters at dealing with human emotions, and with pain control

You have done so much, for so many of us.... it is your turn darling girl to lean on us. Please reach out of you need anything.
I am sure you will be as overwhelmed with love from you CC family as we were.
A hug to your Family & MUCH LOVE sent your way Belle,
Vicki

Belle, I don't know why cancer is doing this to you at this point in time. But I want you to know you have made my experience with colon cancer so much better with your knowledge and support. I know there's a way to send messages from "the other side" and I look forward to seeing the one you send to the Colon Club. Wish I could have met you in person! Best thoughts always and forever.

Love,
Janklo

Belle,

I've been away and returned to see this. I am truly heartbroken. As we began this journey together I have always felt a connection, even though cyber, with you. You have become a force on this board from your generosity and journey. You have impacted many lives reflected by this thread alone. Your mission, at least here on the board is fulfilled.

As you can share in the remainder of your journey, we will continue to learn from you. Wishing you nothing but peaceful, lucid moments with your family now; that is your current mission.

You've impacted lives worldwide, only for our improvement, pretty impressive journey from where I sit.

If you could feel the warmth radiating, may it keep you warm and comfortable.
