Thanks Julie 🐝 , My wife Beth Dees withstood breast cancer 10 ya. Her mother, Glenda Dees, succumbed to bladder cancer 11 ya. One of Glenda’s sisters passed from lung cancer. Another is currently struggling with a metastatic form that originated in her abdomen. Her husband is battling dementia. Each new scan brings fear and hope. I admire all the work you invested resulting from Jeff’s cancer. Both while leading your entire household and then with writing this book. With great admiration today and always.

Good morning Gary, Thank you for sharing these names. I would be happy and honored to write Beth and Glenda on the cape with your permission. My heart goes out to you and your family. I pray for peace and hope with each new scan. The "scan anxiety" is what Jeff faces. I'm glad we have a break from those scans, for now. Sending you and yours love and light. Thanks again, Julie

Hi Julie!

I’d like to order an autographed copy of the book. If you have a total for the book plus shipping I’ll drop a check in the mail. To

your home address?

Beth and I are going to the beach tomorrow for a nice getaway so I’ll miss the writers’ gathering.

Spring is coming…

Gary

Thank you Gary. I would be happy to sign and send you a copy. I'm hoping they will arrive in the next 2 weeks. $20 and my home address is perfect. I let you know when I ship then you can send the check if that works.

Thanks again,

Julie

I love this so much! My grandma, Rosemary Baker, is a two-time breast cancer survivor. At 94 her running is pretty slow these days, so she’d be thrilled to be on your cape!

Jules, please inscribe Howard Rose on your yellow cape. My precious brother, stricken by glio blastoma at age 60. He composed and played heavenly music for all on earth and now for the Angels. Thank you Jules. Love to Jeff ♥️

Julie, this post shows me again exactly how deeply you care for people. What a wonderful and thoughtful idea.

I would be so grateful if you could add T to your cape - that's it, just a capital letter T. It would mean so much to me. Thank you. xxx

I will add the T to the cape tomorrow. Thank you Rebecca. I'm going to have someone video me signing the names so my plan is to share this with everyone Monday. Cross my fingers all goes as planned. LOL

I will add Terri Tomoff and Ryan Tomoff to your cape, along with my mom, Stella McLachlan and mother-in-law Maryann Kowal. Terri, Ryan and Stella are survivors but not Maryann who succumbed to cancer in 2021. What a beautiful idea, Julie. Long may you run. Much love to you.
