My sister just passed away a few hours ago, and I needed to read this tonight, right now. You brought tears to my eyes...and you truly fed my soul. Thank you for sharing your heart with me. It means more to me than I can easily express. Just know that God used you in a profound way tonight.

It is so sad and I've been praying hard for a miracle to happen and she won't lose her sister and brother in law in addition to her young nephew.

I don't personally know Monet, either, but I feel like I do from following along on her blog. She is so sweet and so giving. I comment from Monet on my blog is always a day brightener! I'm sure she would love your potatoes, one of my personal favorite comfort foods. I'm daily offering my prayers for healing for her and her family.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816680477632969718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708271966633841892.post-13893457693865472562011-03-24T08:05:00.552-05:002011-03-24T08:05:00.552-05:00Wow, how sad and terrifying.

I've found myself telling people about Monet and her family, talking about her like she's my next-door neighbor. Food bloggers are incredibly caring and protective of eachother. When we offer comfort through food, it's our expression of concern, love and reassurance. I would add to your potatoes with a huge assortment of veggies for nibbling on and some shortbread cookies. Monet is updating the Annecdotes and Apple Cores Facebook page as she can so people can check there for more current news.Angela@RecipesFromMyMomhttp://www.recipesfrommymom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708271966633841892.post-73450886669257421152011-03-23T08:34:06.611-05:002011-03-23T08:34:06.611-05:00My heart breaks for Monet and her family.

It's these reminders that time is precious and nothing is to be taken for granted. This was a very sweet gesture for our friend Monet. I'm sure she'd appreciate those potatoes!

I've been thinking of Monet's family so much too. This was a lovely tribute to a really special woman, whose adulation for her sisters is so evident in each of her posts. I'm sure she would love this, Lauren. Beautifully written and very sweet.jenn from midlife modernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09149781315469755878noreply@blogger.com
