An update...
It has been a long week, lots of work, concerts and just too many hours spent doing my job and not enough time doing what Iwant....wah..wah..wah...lol
I have not heard from anyone yet about the letters...these things take time I guess...
but.....
I have heard from a young lady named Melissa LoFaso...she is
Melissa LoFasoTragedy Assistance Program for SurvivorsOffice: 202.509.8277Toll Free: 800.959.TAPS (8277)melissa@taps.org www.taps.org
TAPS magazine is a Military magazine that deals expressly with the families that have lost a child or a relative in the military. Melissa is amazed with what we have accomplished here at FMO and she will be visiting the site to see how it is set up and how we respond to each other...just to learn a little and explore....
I am hoping that she will extend us the invitation to post a story in the magazine that will direct the Mom's in the military that have lost a child. She seems very sweet and kind. I am posting her letters so you can all read them....keep your toes crossed gals...
Walking beside you always....
Love, Jacqueline PLH
Dear Jacqueline,
Your email truly touched my heart and, despite all of the pain that you must face on a daily basis, I am so glad that you have found a group of women to support you. The important thing is that you are taking the time to pay attention to your own needs, as we all grieve differently and on different time lines.
Was your daughter in the service when she died? I tried to look up her name but couldn’t find much about her. I would love to hear about the kind of person she was and the kind of life she lived if you’d like to share sometime.
I am also so sorry to hear about Barbara. I’m sure she is a wonderful women who has brought much healing to others. I tried to find your website but didn’t find anything when I searched online. Could you provide the link?
You have been a blessing for others, it sounds, and should be proud of the support you have given. TAPS is also here for you and we will try to help however we can.
Wishing you much healing and comfort,
Melissa

I think about the military Mom\'s who lose their child a lot. It must be such a difficult dynamic to deal with...the fact that these brave men and women wilingly go to a dangerous place to serve their country. I hope the military Mom\'s find our site and find the kind of comfort so many of us have found here. Thanks for all you do, Jacqueline. Anne
Thanks for sharing that information with us. And thanks for keeping us posted about the letters. Lets just put it out there that you will get a response soon. Love and hugs, Beth
Hopefully they\'ll join us - kudos for you for championing the cause. Hugs and love, Lynette ~ Matthews mom
