Lovely thread, and lovely sentiments <3 Inge on "The Pink Send Off: Thinking of those Affected by Cancer" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pink-send-off-thinking-of-those-affected-by-cancer/page/3#post-1075578 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 18:51:21 +0000 Inge 1075578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you so much for starting this thread, Angie. It was still a little too warm to wear my pink cashmere jumper, but I wore my bright fuchsia trench a lot in October, so I hope that counts as my "pink contribution". Family and friends who are currently battling this wretched disease have been on my mind a lot lately (as have those who have passed away). And I am sending positive vibes and healing thoughts to everyone who is dealing with this right now. You are all in my thoughts.

Loss of any kind is heartbreaking and I can certainly identify with that. Big thank-yous to donors and foundations that are searching so hard for cures...but most of all, words of healing are in my heart. I am thinking pink for all of you!

I lost a dear cousin to breast cancer a couple of years ago. My Dad and my father-in-law both battled and survived prostrate cancer. My favorite uncle died of cancer years ago; it was not diagnosed until it was too late (inoperable), so he died within a few months of being diagnosed. My heart goes out to anyone battling cancer!

WOW.  This is what you call a send off. It has exceeded my expectations in every way, and I can't thank you enough for the compassion and camaraderie.  Sandy and Tanya, it's extra special that you chimed in. You are both beautiful to me no matter what. Lots of love to you. xo Lantana on "The Pink Send Off: Thinking of those Affected by Cancer" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pink-send-off-thinking-of-those-affected-by-cancer/page/2#post-1070826 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 07:42:40 +0000 Lantana 1070826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ As my salute to cancer sufferers I'd like to share these words: Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.

XOXO Sandy PS You all look so beautiful in your pink and your tributes to your loved ones brings tears.

Also nabbed the pink Muubaa at the end of the month. I don't own much pink... lol.

(MaryK took the pic right after I told them all about the offer.) One of the directors who interviewed me said, "Oh, you're wearing pink for breast cancer awareness, I forgot but will wear it Monday!" I don't know if you can see but the blouse is a very pale apple-blossom pink. My favorite pink. celia on "The Pink Send Off: Thinking of those Affected by Cancer" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pink-send-off-thinking-of-those-affected-by-cancer/page/2#post-1070672 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 02:49:47 +0000 celia 1070672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I just have this photo from last year now available but wanted to participate. I am thinking about all people who have to deal with cancer.I have several cases in my family, some of them already passed away, some are still fighting it.
