Postcards for Mother's Day

From Dianna Wycliffe in Memory of Her Mom

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you, I don't even think an hour goes by without you in my thoughts. 

Thank you for your patience when I didn't want to listen, when I thought I knew better. When I just wanted to be my own person, without you interfering and bugging me.

Thank you interfering and bugging me, because without you, I wouldn't be the woman or mother then I am today! 

Happy Mother's Day and Happy Birthday Mom, 

you are in my heart forever and always! I love you!

Dianna

In Honor of J. Morning Dove from Jules

The tiniest things that last a lifetime embedded in our heart, soul and mind. The things that will make me smile (maybe even shed a tear) when I'm 90. While we might not always see eye to eye... I'd never trade you:

Sunday morning waffles

Lee Greenwood, Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow

The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie

Chores: Dishes, house cleaning

Planting and watering the garden

Sound of the sewing machine late at night

Blue "Moldy" Almond M&M's

Long talks on the front steps of the house

Learning to drive...that mail box jumped out at me!

Water or Rubber band fights in the house

Learning to cook... "mmmmm pork chops!"

Your Laugh and snort..that I inherited

"You can't help or fix everyone!"

"I'm so proud of the fact I raised a strong woman who 

will never take any $#!^ from anyone!"

In Memory of my Mom, Margaret Todd

My Mother died of ovarian cancer on a Memorial Day. She was diagnosed on an Easter Monday.  In addition to the cancer, she died after surgery from the complications of a heart attack and stroke. This is before we knew she had cancer and could sign a DNR.

She was a brilliant, loving and hard working woman.She was my best friend and it was the hardest lost I’ve ever taken. This is why I Relay.

"Why I Relay" by Cathy10 Longoria

Hi there, my name is Cathy10 Longoria.

 

I'm participating in the Second Life 2014 Relay For Life.

I am a proud member of "Harmony of Hope".

I relay in honor of myself as a recent cancer survivor, my father who is currently fighting lymphoma, and my "Fabulous 5" co-workers.

I have colleagues and friends who fought and won their battle with cancer.

 

 

This is my first year participating in RFL in SL and Committee.
I have relayed for real world relay events, but never took it seriously until 2013.
My personal battle with thyroid cancer was temporary, but I will have a few minor challenges for the rest of my life. I am glad their is a cure for thyroid cancer.

My father has lymphoma and his battle began in March, 2013. I walk alongside him in his journey with the rest of my family.

My mother is his caregiver and was involved in every step of my journey. She, along with other caregivers, are amazing. My admiration for her magnified ten-fold for her strength to help her daughter through cancer and now her husband in less than three years.

During my time with cancer, four of my co-workers fought their battle with cancer. We are known as the "Fabulous 5". One lost her battle with cancer and the rest of us won our battles.

I relay in honor of myself as a recent cancer survivor, my father who is currently fighting lymphoma, and my "Fabulous 5" co-workers.

I am also the Area Lead for Sponsorships on the Public Relations Committee for Relay for Life in Second Life. Donations and sponsorships are much appreciated...good way to put your Why I Relay? into action.

"Those who have suffered, understand suffering, and therefore extend their hand."

Why I Relay by TS Darrow

This is my 7th year of relaying in Second Life.

I relay because this Journey of Promise is not over.

I will continue the fight until no one ever has to hear the words "you have cancer".

I relay for those who cannot and for every hero who lost their battle.

I proudly relay with my team Harmony of Hope.

I am also honored to relay with my strong spirited wife who is my inspiration.

We will fight until there is a cure!

Why I Relay by ﾌυﾚ乇丂

I participate in Relay For Life for many reasons. The main reasons behind why I relay are a 14yr old, 13yr old and a 5yr old.

I Relay in hopes that someday the horrors of cancer will be merely a memory when they are adults. So that they, my children, will not have to live in fear.

I participate in Relay For Life to honor the memory of my dear Uncle Charles P. Low. Without whom I would not have the deep burning fire I have to work my tail off every year to help raise awareness and funds to help fight for a cure.

I participate in Relay For Life to honor those who struggle with this horrible disease in one form or another everyday.

I Relay to honor those who are survivors, who are or have been caregivers, who lost their battle or won it...

I Relay for my family, for my neighbor, for the future generations and most of all for YOU! Each and every one of you... & I will continue to Relay until there is no longer a reason.

HARMONY OF HOPE 2014

We're back!

Welcome to Harmony of Hope 2014

We are a Relay for Life of Second Life team raising money for The American Cancer Society.
This is Harmony of Hope's 7th year. From March to July, we hold fund raisers to earn money for our teams. Each and every Linden is sent directly to the American Cancer Society to fund research, programs, services and to help find a cure!

This is my first year as Captain. Random Darrow has been our amazing Captain for the last 6 years. She is still a huge part of relay, serving as Co-Chair for Relay for Life of Second life. She will be helping to lead all of the teams through our incredible season this year. She's the reason I'm part of this great group of volunteers. She has taught me and led me to where I am today. I'm incredibly proud and excited for her. I'm honored to call her my friend!

This will be my 6th year relaying. When I was first told about relay I was so happy to be part of something that will eventually wipe out cancer. Both my grandparents died of cancer, both my uncles and in April 2012 I lost my mother.

I'm in this for the long haul.

I will fight to the end.

I relay for my family, my children, their children and my friends.

I relay for those who fought and won, those still fighting, and those we lost.

Until there is a cure...We RELAY!
