I received a sad note in the mail today. It was from a lady named Pam, a friend (actually Pam said more like a sister) of Mary Jo's. I had Mary Jo's name in the Lizzie Kate Round #3 exchange. Pam wrote to tell me that Mary Jo had passed away on January 14th from metastatic cancer. Pam said from the diagnosis to her passing was only 3-4 days. Pam went onto say that it was peaceful with her husband and daughter at her bedside.
Pam said one of the things that gave her the most joy were the needlework exchanges. Her eyes just sparkled with excitement when she spoke of the exchanges and how much pleasure she got from them.
So I ask that if you are reading my blog entry that you keep Mary Jo, her family and her dear "sister" Pam in your thoughts and prayers. Our needlework community is alittle smaller now.
Pam said Mary Jo would have treasured my LK's "Love" pillow I stitched her.
Rest in Peace Dear Mary Jo.

How Sad. :(
I guess you can never know how much these exchanges mean to people. I know that I've treasured the few I've been in.
I don't know what to say. I just read this on the L*K exchange blog. I didn't know Mary Jo but I will definately keep her family and Pam in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh I am so sorry to hear this. Sounds like my husbands aunt...she was diagnosed and died within 3days. So sad.
How sad - our stitching sister went to be with the lord. I said a prayer for her family.
