Dear Sassy Apron Swappers,
Thank you for your many messages of concern, support and understanding. My father passed away this evening just after 9 p.m. I have been at his side almost continually since Wednesday morning. I did finish making all the swaps Tuesday night but haven't had time to be back on the computer since then to e-mail them all out. I will start that in the morning. It was so nice to be able to set this aside for 3 days and help my daddy go. It was a job I had to do. I had promises to keep. Thank you all for understanding. You are truly a marvelous bunch of ladies.
Much Love,
Lucy B

Keeping you all in my prayers,
Michelle
So sorry for your loss Lucy.
I am so very sorry for the loss of your father.
Lucy I am very sorry to hear of your loss.
When you are feeling up to it my blog is not working.
Can you let me know what I need to do?
Thanks,

I am sorry for your loss. It is great that you got to be with him when you needed to. Don't worry about the swap...we'll all still be here when you are ready. *hug*
I'm sorry for you loss, Lucy. I lost my father a few years ago, but it seems like yesterday. You take care of family business first. Aprons can wait.
I'm so sorry for you. I hope you find great peace in the days ahead.
I am so sorry Lucy. I am very glad though that you were able to be there with him. Nothing can compare to that time you had with him. Aprons can wait until you are ready to deal with them. We will all still be here.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I am very sorry to hear about your Dad. Please, please take your time and don't even worry about this swap right now. We can wait.
Lucy, I am so sorry about your dad. Daughters and dads have such a special relationship. My father died a few years ago and everyday I miss him, but in a good way as I think about some of the things he taught me-that truly keeps him alive in my heart as I am sure yours will be for you.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss.
Of course the swap can wait.
Lucy, my heart goes out to you on the loss of your dear father. I lost my father exactly 8 years ago and it still hurts and I miss him.
You and yours are in my prayers as you grieve.
The aprons will be a nice distraction when the time is right and we can wait until then.

Lucy,

so very sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry about your dad. Please take the time to grieve and be with your family. My prayers will be with you and your family. Frieda
Lucy-please accept my sincerest sympathy. My mother passed away just last month on Dec. 13. Don't let ANYONE tell you how long you should or can grieve or how. You take your time. I feel that I have not been able to properly grieve because I've tried to stay VERY busy so I wouldn't have the time to think about what has happened. PLEASE email me when you feel up to it...And feel up to it in YOUR OWN TIME...not when someone else tells you to..Hugs and we'll all still be here when you're ready...we can wait.. :)

My heart goes out to you and your family, and like so many, I echo the thought that the aprons can wait. Take care of you and yours, grieve, and heal.

Oh Lucy, I am so sorry. g
What a difficult season for your family. I'm glad you were able to spend the time with your father. I've lost both my parents.
I was just searching today for an apron swap and ran across your blog. I'm sorry I missed this one, but am anxiously looking forward to future swaps.

I am truly sorry for your loss...keeping you and your family in my prayers!
Oh, Lucy. I'm so sorry. Blessings and prayers for you and your family.
So sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Truly, you must do what your heart is telling you to do. Spending time together with loved ones is probably high on your heart's list! We will all be able to pull together aprons when it's time. Don't worry about that!
The Tennyson poem was one of my grandmother's favorites, too, and therefore it's one of mine. Thanks for the source, btw. I'd never known the author. :-) Please take as much time as you need for healing. We all care for you and your family, and you are all in my prayers. Be well.
So very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and best wishes are with you and your family.
My sincere condolences to you and your family. May you only have wonderful happy memories to carry you through.
Mary
I'm sorry to hear about your father. It was wonderful for you to be there at the end.
Please don't worry about the swap. I think we all understand that you have some other priorities. Take care of yourself and your family. We'll be around when you are ready.
I just arrived to your blog right now via Michelle a.k.a. fabricated goddess. I'm so sorry for your loss. It's amazing you can pick yourself back up and continue to do what you set out to do at this trying time. My hats off to ya.
Happy V-day, nonetheless.
Best wishes,
