Hey, I just got a phone call that a dear dear friend of mine just had a stroke last night.

She is only 39 and is in relatively good health. I was and am so shocked to hear of the stroke. The early reports are that she is doing well and can speak but has problems writing. That is all I know.

Keep her in your prayers, chants, send white lights, etc. I can't even begin to tell you guys how this affects me. I am just so devastated by it all. Just such a surprise.

Now that I have permission to post the name of this friend it is Christina (Illsucceed).

I just got off the phone with her and she sounds great actually. It was a stroke of superficial infarction in the cerebellum.

She wanted me to let you all know she is doing well.

I am going to call her back later tonight.

The following is an email I received from her older sister Lisa.

Penni - Christina has had a minor stroke on Monday. She is in the

hospital and doing pretty well. She still has some problems with some words and writing skills but is getting better every hour. She will be in the hospital for a few days so they can run several tests to try and figure out why this happened. Unfortunately strokes do run in our family, both our father and grandfathers died fairly young from strokes.

Thank you for any prayers in her behalf.

Lisa (her older sister)

She can be reached at

William Beaumont Hospital

I am going to be sending flowers to her. Would anyone like to chip in on the cost? Doesn't matter one way or another I just thought we could all send her something collectively. Doesn't matter how much you give either. Give what you can even if that is good wishes and get wells and or money. Whatever?

I will just have the flowers be from us at LBT.

er........how can I send you some $$$. This is terrible, but I am glad that Illsucceed seems to be in good care.

Penni ~ I'm so glad you let us know about this. We will definitely pray for her. Please tell her we're thinking about her and want her back posting as soon as she is up to it. She adds so much to LBT.

I would like to go in on the flowers. Do you take PayPal? I could also use snail mail. Let me know.

Get up off that arse SARGE!!!!!!! You are slacking on the job!! The Privates are revolting. LOL!!! LOVE YA!!!!! Penni & LBT

The above is what I put on the card for her. I do have paypal. Send it to penni@pemerridesigns.com

(I gave you guys the wrong paypal email. The above one is the correct address.)

If you don't have paypal then just mail me a check.

PM me for the address.

Here is a pic of the bouquet I sent her.

That is soooo nice of you Penni. I'm so shocked it's Christina! No way!!!! Aw, girl, know that we are praying for you and wish you only the best! We love you!!!!!!!!!

Penni ~ I just tried to send $$ via PayPal & they say that e-mail isn't registered. Do you use another e-mail for PayPal?

Penni - Give my love to her and tell her I am thinking about her!

Sending her best wishes for a speedy and full recovery! Please let her know we're thinking of her.

Penni, please tell her that I'm thinking of her and sending her my best wishes. Beaumont is a great hospital - I'm sure they're taking good care of her.
