I just wanted to thank
the staff at Gilda's for all you've done to help me through the darkest time
in my life. When I was unable to function due to my grief, Gilda's
staff lifted me up and carried me. Everyone was so helpful, caring and
genuine. Stephanie has a way about her that allows everyone to grieve
in their own way and time. Lori is amazing with the Noogies, and I was
able to grieve because I knew my children were well cared for so that I could
finally exhale as their caregiver and lighten my load a bit every week.
Gilda's gave me the gift of peace. I never felt uncomfortable there and
for that I am so grateful. Right now, I'm
continuing on my grief journey. I have days when my grief is heavy, and
take comfort in the fact that Gildas is there for me if I need it.
Anyway, THANK YOU....THANK YOU....THANK YOU!!!!! Erin and the entire
Gilda's Club staff do an amazing job and I feel so blessed that our paths
crossed. Meeting such wonderful people allowed me to see a silver
lining in the cloud of grief. Joanne Roden, Member Introducing "Art from the Heart!" Edward Moran (American
